March 24, 200719 yr They slowed the footage down after the game and it was a travel. They even zoomed in on the guys feet...He walked...
March 24, 200719 yr Yeah, bad no call cost Vandy the game. Shuffled his feet but it was in so much traffic and happened so quick I can see how they could have missed it. Still a shame though.
March 24, 200719 yr If his left foot is on the floor, then he has traveled. Thats easy. You cannot change your pivot foot. 100% incorrect. The travel in the GT game had nothing to do with the "other" foot. In my scenario, you have nothing YET. It is not a travel at this point. He could shoot the ball and its all good. Thus, he has not changed his pivot foot.
March 24, 200719 yr I actually thought it was pretty obvious in real time. It seemed to me like he was planted on one leg, lifted it, and replanted on another leg Incorrect. As I posted previously , the left leg had nothing to do with this. Closeup replays showed it was a violation but the left leg had NOTHING to do with it. If he had not shuffled his right foot, it was a clean play. You don't really have to look at the feet. Incorrect. This is EXACTLY where the violation occurred. There is only one foot that mattered and needed to be watched and that's the right foot. He lifted it(barely) then put it back down. That's a walk.

The point was that poor refereeing is determining the outcomes of some games. And the left has something to do with it. If you have established your right foot as your pivot, then lift it with the left on the floor you have changed pivot. You can lift your pivot foot if the other foot is not in contact with the floor. Hence the left foot being on the floor is why that is a travel. Like I said Basketball 101. I can't believe their is so much debate.

That's why years ago I went out and got a rulebook and actually read it so that I would not sit in the stands yelling at the officials when, in fact, the official was correct. Again, the left foot was completely irrelevant in this case.
March 24, 200719 yr Well that is a tough way to end the season for Vandy, when they should be in the elite 8 now, if the right call was made...

Again, the left foot was completely irrelevant in this case. I wouldn't say failed. I do miss one once in a while. Looked it up and I stand corrected. The rule does state that it is a travel if the pivot foot is lifted and returned to the floor. There is no mention of the other foot and tranfering to it before the established pivot foot comes to the ground. I have seen it called incorrectly a million times.:thumb:

March 25, 200719 yr I I have seen it called incorrectly a million times.:thumb: It does seem to be one of the challenges for officials. I think the general rule of thumb seems to be that if it looks odd it must be a travel. The other that I always question is the jump stop . It seems that officials have let it go more often than they used to. Early in the Ohio State game yesterday, Leighty did one that HAD to be a travel but was not called.
