I wasn't implying that they did, I was just describing the play.

I don't see a clear travel. It is tough to see when the dribble ends from that angle, but I am seeing the dribble end while he is airborne, with the right foot coming down first and becoming the pivot, and then jumping off of left; therefore legal. He may have traveled but that would be a tough one to see in transition in traffic.

So all of this talk about upward motion in NCAA means that there is a difference in standard between NCAA and NFHS? Wouldn't this bucket count in NFHS? Assuming no travel...

The difference has existed since the start of the season (well, since the NCAAM rules changes were announced before the season).

The NCAA rule is about the same as FED 4-11-1. FED paragraphs 4-11-2 and 3 do not exist in the NCAA definitions (I think that's true for both NCAAM and NCAAW), so it's left to a little interpretation.

Why is this a blocking foul? Looks to me that a ball handler is trying to go between two defenders within 3 feet of each other who both have LGP.
