Mandatory OMG Travel No Call

[just another ref]

Seems there's at least one per game. Arizona/Arizona St. 2:28 in OT.

I watched a high school game tonight, and they missed at least 3 obvious travels.

But people probably complained about it there.

They complain when players *don't* travel, too. I give them the same consideration.

But NCAA officials obviously don't.

No, actually they didn't. 2 of them were committed by the visiting team and not a peep was heard.

I wish I'd get a dollar for every time a coach, assistant, players or fans call out "travel" when I officiate. I'd be in Bill Gates income level

Some of you may be able to browse to the play here: ESPN3 -- Arizona vs. Arizona State

He was only partially responsible for one.

He made up for it by calling 2 later on against the team that was winning by 40.

How does it feel to piss into the wind?

Translation: I see that you're right and it was an obvious travel, but that just doesn't get called on this play in D1 on a guy taking the ball to the basket.


I understand that is the way it is now, but what I don't understand is why?

Unlike the blarge thing (it happens once in a blue moon and I can handle it any way I want with no problem) this is an increasing problem because the best high school players imitate what they see on tv and I still call this a travel because nobody has told me not to call it.

HS players imitate it b/c they are not getting called for it either.

Or maybe, they learn the move in HS, nobody calls it, and they continue doing it in college.
