Thats what I gathered from your first post & the reason why the "comment" wasnt directed towards you.

Some also look for excuses to not make a call when it is there.

Those that have a travel on the play have judged possession to have occurred earlier than those that have nothing. Me personally, I wouldn't judge possession so quickly or instantaneously (which was JRut's point of posting the play).

the two best/most exciting plays for fans in basketball are:

the dunk
a blocked shot

if I blow my whistle on either of these plays, it will be because a clear violation of either applicable rule was violated.

as for the play in the OP.....not a chance that I'm calling a travel!

What about blocking a dunk?
I'm not blowing the whistle either. Call the obvious. Slow motion it isn't even obvious.

We never invited you to the party. How did you find out about it? Who told you about it? Was it Mark Padgett?
