And so often, we hear the crowd disparagaing our non-call of a perceived travel when the ballhandler hasn't controlled the ball. They seem to see only the feet, in such instances, with no regard for whether the player actually has control of the ball.

The idea that you can't travel during a fumble is one of the great unknowns to most coaches and fans.

Well put. A player can't travel if he doesn't have possession of the ball. Determining whether he has possession, or not? "Ay, there's the rub!" That's why we get paid big bucks to be at the game, and why fans have to pay to be at the game.

I've watched it, stop-actioned, frame-by-frame. I'm still not willing to say it's definitely a travel or not. Therefore, it's not.

I have one conclusion, though. Some people are great officials on the Internet or on YouTube.

I can't imagine anyone working a game of any real magnitude making this call.

You haven't been reading a lot of recent posts after a video has been posted, have you?

I do agree this isn't the best angle. Would like to see a shot from the endline.

My cable provider as a Media Hub feature which allows you to download DVR'd recordings. You may want to look into that. I'm not even trying to look at these videos.

Travel...catches with right foot on the floor, then steps left, then right again.

Well , you have gone from saying "that this is not remotely close to travel and you are on a crusade" to " I'm not willing to say it is a travel or not and a YouTube official" Not sure what that is all about: either 1) you don't know what a pivot foot is( probably not the case) or 2) gave a statement about something that you didn't look at properly

Now back to the point I was trying to make. In games of "real magnitude", I agree no one would make this call even though it was clearly a travel. So why not adapt the NBA rule and make it easy to call and catch up to the way its called anyway.
Not trying to ruffle feathers but the NBA has figured it out.

Maybe a travel should just be called when it happens.

Unless you want HS and college to change the NBA rule, please stop writing "adapt" when the proper word is "adopt."
