Video Request: Dec. 19 Arizona-UTEP Traveling???

Not saying they are or aren't travels, but considering a man that has worked the Final 4 multiple times over the past few years was the one on two of those plays, he must be doing a lot more right than wrong.

Yeah, they don't call it there, either.

Look, all three of these plays are a travel but the common thing that I see on all of them is that they are pretty much two official plays and very complex to officiate. All of them should have the lead watching the defense for contact and the trail or C watching the feet for travels. The second is complicated even more due to the fact that the lead is right in the middle of a rotation.

I can see why all three of these were missed. There is a whole lot of stuff going on that requires at least 2 officials to officiate these plays appropriately. I bet these are missed more often in HS than college due to the crew discipline and training to know that it is a two official play. I don't think in at least these instances the officials chose not to call it. I just think they were looking at other (appropriately) things.
