I probably would have called it, but I'm not convinced I should have. Yes, it's a travel, but I agree that it happens pretty quick and it's one of those that doesn't really need to be called. I'd prefer these get called, but I have no desire to be a pioneer.

I have some assignor friends who talk about the videos they get sent to them by coaches.

Sometime it seems that, when it comes to traveling, you're watching a different video than everyone else.

Actually I commented on what others were saying. I also do not think there was control. I do not care what others see. I just know I am not calling this play a travel. Again if you have to slow video down to make a determination, to me that is not a good call to make.

Peace

I officiate all my games now assuming that it is getting recorded. Last spring a video popped up on YouTube titled the next Jeremy Lin. I go to view it and I'm in there about 3 or 4 times

Not a travel for me.

No, as good as I am, I would not catch that.
Third year guy here and I have no travel and I'm not that good. Too tough to see in real time and doesn't pass the "Elephant vs. Ants" test, even in slow motion, and especially if I've got to look at it three or four times. Pasadena in my games.

Camron:

I am one that has no qualms with calling traveling not matter the level or time of game and I am going with Rut on this one. Whether or not A1 had control of the ball when he landed, in real time, his foot work was just too close to call it anything but landing simultaneously.

Sorry Mr. Administrator. It seems that you want treads to go in one direction which you control. Really don't understand this trolling thing. I wonder who made it up. I was giving my opinion. People opinions should not be censored unless of course profanity is used among other things.

My apologihies if I upset the Furor during the Holiday season. Thanks for responding. God bless and good night.

I don't care the way the threads go or what your opinions are. I'm just giving my opinion that your posts are intentionally cryptic and that's typically what our frequent trolls do.

What is an intentional cryptic post? Is it like an intentional foul? This board is diverse. People have different perspectives. All should be encouraged and welcome. Seems to me you did not like it so you call me a troll and say it is cryptic.

Cryptic posts talk about beer in a thread about traveling.

The fact that reasonable people can sometimes disagree does not imply that all opinions are equally valuable: some are wrong, dumb, ill-informed, or otherwise not worth considering.

And the word is 'Führer', not Furor.

Well, if that's true, then you've not learned much in your 24 years of officiating the game.

Like others, first I thought it wasn't, then, after slow motion, I'm sure it was. I'm reasonably sure I wouldn't have caught it on the court. I have no problem with making a call that nobody else in the gym saw.
