Travel much?

[JetMetFan]

So I e-mailed John Adams and told him I'm trying to figure out how the plays weren't called traveling violations since it makes it tough for me to enforce at the lower levels and also to explain to my own kids.

Here's the response:

Easy to discern in slow motion. In real time, if officials are not sure it's traveling, then it isn't. If they are sure it is, it is and should be called.

So much for that.

What do you want him to say? It's obvious that the decisions are not correct. You know it, I know it, and he knows it.

So how does he respond to your email without appearing to support the guys working that D1 game? He really has to hedge his response and he did.

Plus, what can John Adams do about it? John Clougherty is the one these officials have to answer to concerning these plays.

I wasn't looking for him to do anything about it. It's obvious he won't/hasn't. I just wanted him to comment on it given that he's the officiating coordinator. It would've been nice if he addressed the situation directly but I'm not shocked at the response.
