I have to disagree with this.

There HAS to have been a directive to NCAA officials regarding traveling. There are at least marginal travels on nearly every possession, particularly from players catching the ball going away from their basket. They can damn near do whatever they want to square themselves up.

And we may as well adopt the NBA's "2 step" rule because there are probably 10 plays a game that to me, are clear travels (and replays back me up), that are ignored. They aren't even commented on by most fans/announcers because they're so used to NBA-level moves. Spin moves to the basket, "Euro-steps", tucking the ball, etc. None of it gets called.

I HOPE that this isn't just officials being oblivious to what I consider quite obvious travels.
