Yeah but 2 steps is much easier to say than he moved his feet within the parameters of the prescribed limits while holding the ball.

The problem is, two steps isn't accurate and can be a travel. If you have to answer a question, just say he picked up his pivot and put it back down. Or that his pivot never came back down.

I actually stopped answering questions about travels this year, instead I redirect the convo by asking the coach which foot did he think was the pivot? When he cannot answer I say its tough to adjudicate the travel without knowledge of the pivot foot. And that's where the pushback stops.

you think Illinois would've like to have had those 3pts from earlier in the game?

they missed a contested 3 in the last 5 seconds to lose to Iowa by......yep, you guessed it.....3pts.......

(BEFORE everyone starts putting words into my post - the refs didn't cost them the game - they had plenty of chances and blew it!)

i'm just sayin'.....

Have you morphed into your fanboy persona now that your officiating season is done?

nope. just an official who prefers that plays are called accurately....

maybe I also secretly enjoy watching the "supposedly-best officials" (aka long-time veterans) who get to work ALL the games (based more on reputation than merit) make obvious mistakes.

When you work a game in which you make no obvious mistakes, (to others, not to you) post it on the forum for all to see.

I won't hold my breath.

Obvious mistakes? Like saying that taking two steps after the gather is, "by rule," not a travel?
