Travel Calls on the Endangered List

I said by the rules it was the correct call, but I thought the rule was dumb, implying that I disagree. Sorry I had the exact wording. Seems pretty easy to see my stance on that rule in the first post, yet you think I support that rule.
There is a difference between me saying it's the correct call by rhe rules and it's a good call. I'm not defending the rule.
Be nice to Gilligan. It is his mission from The Great and Creepy Pete to come here and defend any and all things done by or for his Boilies no matter how much of a pretzel he needs to twist himself into.
He is a loyal First Mate.
I've agreed that it's a travel Richard. Not really defending Purdue here. Just stating why it wasn't potentially called a travel, even though I thought it should have been called.
Keep making stuff up though. First ya say the east has 5 better football teams than Wisconsin, then ya tell me I'm defending the travel no call after saying it was a travel multiple times. Maybe yall should learn to read vs look at my username?
Edit: this is really funny actually. This board: how's this not a travel? Me: I don't agree with the rule or the call. Thought it should have been a travel. The board: how can you defende that call and say it wasn't a travel? Me: I never have said I agree.

OK Mr Salty.
Not sure even you can untwist from this one.
Oh, and a new gbi stalker opens an account just for me, Actually only my first this week. Welcome @Uncle Courtsense ...just 22 min old.
Traveling has not been much of a rule for some time but this example is coffee spitting funny.
It was a great no call on a point of emphasis this year. It rewards elite athleticism. Some don’t like it, but those people probably also drive ‘73 Olds 98s
I like to use the word literally. I also like to use it correctly. Insane how much that word gets misused. Pet peeve of mine for sure.
Asinine contention/rationalization. Was nothing "elite" or "athletic about it" - anyone who drives a '73 (or even a '53) Olds could make the same move.
Not only traveling.... but what is getting in my crawl is the stupid moving screens!!!!!!
There is no Pick and Roll and more..... it's move move move roll.
Watching MSU vs Michigan right now.... and it's all over the place!!!!
Old school was... you set a pick and both feet cannot move until your your team mate
gets past you.
Nowadays..... it's set... shuffle.... set.... shuffle... set.... shuffle. I'm tired of it.

one step forward and 2 steps back move. Song was made about it.
Everyone would be considered an elite athlete if they were allowed to take 3 steps without dribbling the ball to create space. That’s why the traveling violation was created.
The only trolls are the people calling people names as opposed to participating in the discussion.
lol
I participated as much as was necessary. It was a rather spectacular travel despite what the pu trolls here want to say, and I called it as such. You guys have zero credibility on such topics.
Ok Gilligan?
Still won't acknowledge that I've said I think it was a travel from the start huh? Just like you won't tell me the 5 teams in the East better than Wisconsin.
This was earlier today..... Purdue vs Michigan.
This is what Ivey gets away with all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder he gets highlight clips..... when you can palm and carry the ball like this.....
anyone will get hightlight clips!!!!
On the cross over.... he literally carry the ball to his right side before a dribble.
He took three steps.... before releasing the ball to dribble

Oh that's correct..... he's the "Two Step Back" guy!!!!!
or....as you said.... the "Gather-Trotter". 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not many guys can "gather trot", arm bar and flop on the same play.
I'm assuming that those three items are a prerequisite to play in the NBA. 😂😂😂
That is rather egregious, damn puts Iverson and Jordan to shame. There's no way you're getting away with that forever, somebody's going to call it. Same thing with Trey Young's consistent arm bar offensive foul, I hate that too
Definitely 3 steps. I would think opposing teams would send these videos to the Big Ten office.
Purdue and Illinois both will be bounced early from the tournament by getting fouls called on them that aren't called in the Big Ten.
All these examples of extra steps and especially troubling when a good ball fake is called traveling. Argggh!
The one I saw was a sick dunk though. He will be fine in the NBA.
Agreed Court. All his moves are NBA moves (which I hate NBA.. btw) and are perfectly legal in that realm.
I'll be glad to see him and many others move on to the NBA..... but sadly them moving on to the NBA won't stop this type of play in the NCAA.... but I wish it would.
PS: I understand what you were saying about his sick dunk. I didn't mean my comment above to contradict your statement. I just wanted to add my opinion about the NBA.
