I don't see one on this play. I know that is hard to believe right?

Geez, nothing here.

Are we talking about McGrary's move? That's the only thing I see here.

First call of the natl championship game a borderline travel..... no thanks.

[OKREF]

Must be talking about Burke when he catches the ball.

If you're looking NOT to work a championship game at whatever level you are working then call a travel here.

While it is not one I think is intended by the rules, it technically is a travel for starting a dribble after lifting the pivot foot. He clearly catches the ball with his right foot down and then steps to his left foot...making the right the pivot. The right foot is lifted and is almost down for the next step before the ball is released on a dribble. Those facts are pretty clear and the rule is pretty clear. By the book, travel....but NEVER called. I don't think I even look for that.
