Yep. It is disturbing. And it is addressed and stressed every pre-season locally and during the season when it's observed. In our association (and even state level to a degree), we stress "just because it looks funny, it's not a travel". Constant focus and feedback by observers and veterans. I'm comfortable that we are doing our part locally. I wish I could see evidence of the same at the college level.

We give feedback too and talk about it and it is still called too often. I can live with a missed travel that is hard to tell, I cannot stand a traveled called because it did not happen. That to me is much worse.

And many so-called High School Officials on this board said a play earlier in the tournament said a travel should have been called on a shot where the shooter planted his pivot foot and people here said it was a travel. They said it was a travel in live time, then they said it was a travel after replay. That is why I say what I say about this topic.

Hard to argue with this paragraph.

That spin move is a violation I call regularly. And coaches seem to recognize it now as a travel.

I'd have called #2, and #3, in real time. I saw it in #1, but this isn't something that gets called regularly.

I know the spin move is something my association wants called (note, this is not to say that the players don't do this well; only that this guy didn't.)
