So you're philosophy is throw the rule book out in the final seconds?

I can't tell if his left foot is still down when he gathers the dribble, so it's not clear to me that this is a travel. If it's not clear, you probably shouldn't call it.

I can't tell from the video either, and my philosophy on travels is similar to yours. In fact I probably call the fewest travels amongst other officials. I was commenting on their point of view regarding what calls to make when the game is "on the line".

The OP is on some kind of crusade without having an understanding of traveling or the concept of a gather or a pivot foot being able to leave the floor as long as it doesn't return.

jeremy wins for most quantity of worst video, jump stop wins for worst quality of video.

I was being sarcastic. Enforce the rules as written at all times.

If jump stop's account wasn't three years old I would have thought we are hearing from potato again.

I agree I need some better video skills

Stop video at :48 Ball clearly gathered with 2 hands with left foot on floor, he swings ball over his head and right foot is now on floor ( so now left foot is established as pivot foot), he then brings left foot back to floor and shoots. My crusade is that this is a clear travel that does not get called.

I call as many travels as anyone, and I don't see it here. If you have to freeze frame, back up, and slow motion to see it, I'd rather not call it.

On this play, even with those features, I can't tell.

There's a guy on my old board named Randy that is known for accurate travel calls. I'd like to see him on these games. He'd call them I know he would. lol

I'm glad you call this a crusade because you could be fighting this cause for a long time...... I just don't see a travel and quite frankly if you called this on a consistent basis, I don't think you would be around that long in a certain leagues.

As far as the whole Jeremy thing, I think we may have scared him away !!!!!

Your definition of clearly and mine seem to differ greatly. I can't even see 4/5 of the ball, nor can I see one of the hands, at 0:48. If you can, I applaud you on your xray vision, sir.

Not a travel. Not at any point in the game.
