The new C should've gotten the travel. He had a wide open look.

I'm not really convinced the new C had a wide open look. It looks like there was a bobble at the start of the play which might have put enough doubt in the C's eyes to pass on calling that.

Didn't really see a travel from the C's angle, or if there is one it's tough to see. and it wasn't major enough that I would lose sleep if I didn't call from the C or the T.

Even if the Lead is looking, he cannot see the ball through A1's back, so he wouldn't know if there was a bobble or not.

I'm very new to 3-man, so this is a legitimate question:

Regardless of the result of the play and what was/wasn't missed, that's a pretty casual rotation by the L, no? Just walking over there slowly with seemingly no conviction?

I don't see the travel. Unless he didn't take a dribble. It looks like he did but I actually am not 100% based on the angle.

I'm not seeing a travel or anything really wrong with the L's rotation mechanics.

I missed the dribble. Not a travel.

On another point: Had the post player taken it strong to the hoop, the L would've been in the middle of the lane. I'm not sure why the L wouldn't move more aggressively to get across.

Well sugar. I missed it, too. Kaminsky completely screens our view. Gosh he's big.

In super slow-mo, the dribble ends while G10's feet are both still in contact with the floor (right toe is going up but still touching). Technically a travel? Yes. But now I can totally understand why it got passed on.
