I've got nothing...real time or in slow motion.

No travel.

Your points in the other thread fit this video perfectly (but the events in this video are far from the other video).

At the time he first makes contact with the ball, the toes of his left foot are already coming up off the floor. Acknowledging that it probably takes a moment to "control" the ball after the initial touch, that foot would certainly be off the floor by the time he is holding the ball.

The point of control in this video is approximately full step later than the other one....the ultimate pivot foot in the other video was still coming down as he caught the ball. If this one is considered at all close by anyone, the other one must be obvious.

Travel.
I was able to pause the video at 11 seconds with the player fully in possession and the left foot still clearly on the floor.

It's *really close*.

It's so close that the expected call is nothing, though if a call is made, I suppor tit.

A travel call here would be the dictionary definition of "ticky-tack".

I can almost GUARANTEE the opposing coach here wasn't screaming for a travel call. I'm willing to bet it never even crossed his mind.

I think he travels, but there's no way I'm picking this up in real time; because I "think" he travels.
