Ok.... that was clever

If a player wiped both shoes, I'd probably not notice. I don't spend a lot of time staring at a player who's standing still with the ball.

If you did notice, would you call it? Has anyone ever called this or seen it called?

Becoming more aware of it now, does anyone plan on calling it if they see it?

I think I called it once. If not exactly this, it was something similar. The team slowed down the game a lot, whenever the defense was backed up in a zone, they would pull it out. The point guard had some kind of weird little habit, if it wasn't wiping the shoes it was something else that involved moving both feet. If memory serves, I called it at least once and saw him do it another time or two when watching this team as a spectator.

I had the exact play described in a summer travel youth league about 20 years ago. A1 picked up his foot wiped it clean, then picked up his pivot foot and wiped it clean. When his pivot foot returned to the ground, I called the travel. I called it then, and will call it exactly the same way the next time I see it.
