Get a suitcase when you travel

Lah me.

Oh obviously. Now that you said it I get it. I have no clue what "Lah Me" means, but it wasn't obvious enough for a moderator to use a snarky response, if that's what it was meant to be.

We're all getting better at calling travel violations or at least we should be trying to get better at it still.

Had a C level game last night and this kid throws the Euro step on a fast break. Caught me completely off guard and I rewarded him with a travel. I was upset because I thought I cut out most of my whistles where it just "looks" funny.

But as others have said, identify the pivot foot and traveling becomes a much easier call.

Of course, there's the spin move that is/isn't a travel, based on when the dribbler picks up the ball. It seems so many of such moves used to be called a travel, but evaluators/supervisors are telling us to not call it . . .

IT means "look for the reason the OP might be right in what he's saying, even if it could be more clear, and not for the reason he's wrong or intentionally giving incorrect information."

Lah me.

I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with you, but the choice of words was poor, at best. Who pee'd in your cornflakes this morning? Lighten up, Francis.

I once had a clinician tell me "you know it when you see it." Not the most specific advice that.

This year I've been very aware of identifying the pivot foot. That's led to some travel calls when the ball handler lifts the pivot foot before releasing the ball to start their dribble so it's worked pretty well.

Actually it wasn't and mostly people that do not have better to do make an issue out of this. Honestly, I have said the same thing for years and never had anyone assume it was more than what I was talking about. "It is all about picking up the pivot foot" when trying to call traveling. If you know which foot is the pivot foot, then you can call this more consistently. Only someone here would think that had anything to do with what the pivot foot can do.

Lah me.
