That said, there is really nothing wrong with the Traveling Rule as written in any of the rules set. I will say that the NFHS/NCAA language is clearer and easier to read than the FIBA and NBA/WNBA rules sets. The "progressing" wording is mind numbing.

This is not true in all aspects with regard the travel rule in the NBA/WNBA versus NFHS and NCAA.

For instance, the spin move referenced in the thread earlier...completely legal under the pro rule sets.

Yes, change it to the NBA rule. Or create a clause that says "if the move is really cool, let it go".

I am good with that. At least it will put an end to the charade of so many trying to say a player with the ball in two hands isn't really holding the ball yet.
