This guy took nine steps, because we allow these fundamentals to erode.

He took 9 steps because he has no business with the ball in his hands more than 3 feet from the rim. The refs missed it, likely because they never see him with the ball more than 3 feet from the rim and he wasn't being guarded. It happens.

It reminded me so much of the YMCA games I've done where the biggest kid on the court suddenly finds himself with the ball and no clue what to do next.
