DVBOA...Phantom travels
The interesting thing about these plays is, unless my eyes are going, they really aren't phantoms. They're close and I'll admit a lot of us wouldn't necessarily catch them but they're all travels.

On #2 the call was on the spin. In the slow-mo I can see A1's pivot come off the floor as he turns.
On #3 A1 catches the ball then his right foot hits the floor, followed by the left then the right again. Again, you really need the slo-mo to tell.

1) Travel RF was pivot, then he stepped forward with it. Official seemed to call travel for lifting and replacing left foot -- I'm not sure left foot left the ground.
2) Probably not a travel. I think left foot was pivot and didn't come off ground on the spin move. 3) Depends on whether official thinks it was a jump stop. Right foot land just before left, and then there's a step with the right. BY a strict interpretation of the book, it's a travel. If you make some small allowance, it's a jump stop and a legal pivot. |

I am not convinced that any of these are travels. Certainly not obvious by any means.

Oh, believe me, I know they're not obvious in any way. Heck, on at least one of them I had to watch it full screen twice to see it (I think it was #3). I just wish the "phantom-ness" was a little more apparent.

Be Sure ...
Agree. If we're not sure, don't call it.
Different situation. Yesterday. Boys prep school. Second half. I'm the trail in a free throw situation. Black is shooting in front of their bench. I look at the table for substitutes. My next look is at the shooter to make sure that he's in his proper place, and then across the lane to make sure that everyone there is in their proper place. My partner, the lead, then bounces the ball to the shooter. In my peripheral vision, I spot a White player "sneaking" back, away from the three point arc. I was pretty sure that he was originally inside the arc, maybe on the far side of the lane, with me getting straight lined by the shooter, but I passed on it because I wasn't sure. Black misses and the Black coach goes nuts. "That's a violation. You have to call it". I yell back to him, "I didn't see it, so I can't call it", thinking, in my mind, that I blew the call. Coach continues to go nuts and I have to T him up, so now I'm doubly pissed at myself that not only did I blow the call, but it led to a technical foul. After the game, I discus the call with my partner, ready to fall on my sword. My partner tells me that he spotted the White player heading into the lane from behind the three point arc and gave him the stop sign to prevent a violation, and I just saw the aftermath of that, White moving back away from the arc. I didn't blow the call, because I wasn't sure that there was a violation. I thought that there was a violation, but I was never sure.

All I Ask Of You ...
... and then it wouldn't be a phantom (something apparently seen, heard, or sensed, but having no physical reality).
(I love it when the chandelier crashes.)

All three are travels. The only one that is hard to see with the given video angle is the post move.
#1. Ball caught with right foot down and left foot up. The left foot immediately comes down making the right foot the pivot. The right foot is lifted and moved to a new spot. Not a big travel, but a travel. #2. Ball is caught with his right foot on the floor in the top lane space. He steps forward with his left foot making the right the pivot. The right is the lifted and he steps forward again on the right (the travel) before spinning back to the left. #3. Ball caught in the air and landed right-left-right. Travel. The landing was close to being simultaneous but it wasn't. I can see #1 and #3 not being called frequently and I may very well have several of those in my games that go uncalled but that doesn't mean they were not travels, just that they were missed.

First one travel.
2nd can't tell as hard to see when control of the ball is gained but the angle on the video no travel. 3rd travel. Easier to see in slow mo then real time but its the right call.

Of course, some people would say that after you catch the ball to end a dribble you haven't really caught it.
