:confused: I had never noticed JRut was an advocate of ignoring traveling...

He's not.

Kinda what I thought, that's why the comment lost me.

Actually I just think that traveling is the most inconsistent call in the entire game of basketball. And unlike some here I feel that HS officials do just as bad of a job calling traveling properly as we see at other levels. HS officials IMO just call many phantom calls than they do at the other levels, but still incorrectly apply the rule.

No, he just defines holding the ball in a way that makes it nearly impossible....and completely the opposite of how he defines holding the ball when it comes to deciding if a player is shooting or not.

Agree. Toughest call for me, and I've been doing this for thirty-two years. It's not block/charge, foul/incidental contact, or coach-official interactions, it's traveling. Especially at the end of a dribble, with all the various possibilities, jump stops, spin moves, fakes and pivots, gathering the ball for a try, step throughs, over unders, etc.
