Message: [QUOTE="HuskylnSC, post: 4216070, member: 7953"] I reffed many many moons ago and I have a totally different take. I would get upset at all the traveling that wasn't called. If your pivot foot comes up before the ball leaves your hand, you have changed pivots and are guilty of a travel. I have some questions about the Eurostep also. Players will catch the ball with two hands, take an exaggerated step, Then another step. When the first step after the catch comes off the floor, it's a travel. If the player catches the ball during the long step, it's good. I see players travel with a jab step. They will jab left and ball fake left then start to the right moving the ball from the fake to dibble, the right foot comes up and it's a travel. Another travel occurs in the jostling under the hoop. The player with the ball is jostled and shuffles to get their balance. If the ref thinks the jostle was incidental then it's a travel or you have to call a tic-tac foul. The problem is you can't start changing the way the game has been called for years in the middle of the season. [/QUOTE]
