What does that comment mean?
That officials at the NCAA level are supposed to ignore this clear traveling violation?
That the athletes at the NCAA level are so big and fast that the officials don't see this traveling violation and miss it?
That the officials in NCAA games are looking for the contact/foul and miss the travel?
That the NCAA officials have been instructed to not penalize this footwork?

Please pick one of the above and clarify your statement for us because in my opinion this footwork is clearly illegal and gives the offensive player a huge advantage in getting around a defender near the basket. I don't see how the defender has a fair chance of guarding an opponent who is permitted this extra replacement of the pivot foot prior to jumping. It basically makes the attacking post player unguardable.
