Yup.

It's odd to me that this one has become like the "2" step play on drives to the hole. Something illegal but accepted. I don't think the spin move is as difficult to see as the drive, as far as when the ball is gathered.

I think it would easy to "POE" this play back in line with the rules, if those in charge wanted to.

It was a POE several years ago. More than once, I think. It ain't working.

Just like the "automatic" hand checks. I turn on the TV and see it being called RSBQ-style.

Agree Zona, those are travels by the book, but for some reason they are allowed. If that move is made quickly I can see allowing it since the end of the dribble is tough to decipher, but all three of those look pretty obvious. In my high school games those are travels.

All 3 were horrible travels that give the offense a huge advantage and should be called regardless of level. I called one like this just last night in a game and got no lip from anyone.

I hear ya about the horrible travel but I don't think they got a huge advantage from these. In each video they spin, twirl, and pirouette into worse offensive positions than they were before, causing them to take extremely difficult contested shots.

first two just looked like good spin moves to me. I'm not calling the travel on them. Third one though looked like travel.
