Knight Watch: Officiating [Ridiculous NCAA Basketball Traveling] - HQ

[cmorancie]

@zam989s Griffin did travel but it was because he lifted his pivot foot prior to dribbling the ball. All of his movements after he started dribbling were legal.

[21ecclesio]

I disagree. His dribble ends when he palms the ball (at 1:13 in the video). His left foot is on the floor and his right foot is off, meaning that his left foot is established as the pivot. He now cannot legally lift that foot and return it to the floor without passing or shooting, which he clearly does. Knight is correct--that is a *traveling* violation.

[maverick3825]

Bob Knight is correct. This goes for so much of the poor officiating out there when the officials go the opposite way and take over the game for one team or the other.

i dont think that man knows what a "PIVET" is

[hotsauce61488]

@zam989s

you are right. bob knight is an asshole. Im mad I got into division 1 this year and he retired, i woulda T'd his ass up

[MauricesDaddy]

@zam989s u look close he moves his pivot foot that was a travel

[cliedl]

I agree traveling gets overlooked, but that's because the officials are focusing on much more important areas like contact by the defender. Unfortunate, but you can't catch everything.

[kralcnamron]

Blake lifted his pivot foot after the dribble. It was very clear.

[kralcnamron]

watch closely..he lifted his pivot foot.

[zestinga]

the second ex. i think its not a travel coz his pivotal foot is still there he only move his other foot to move in front of the rim even if he move his non pivot foot many times oys not a travel haizzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[straighta797]

hansborough does this all the time. he can't do it in the NBA b/c u have to build ur friendship with the refs in the NBA. He's nothing now b/c the NBA refs hate him .

[spolo18]

The griffin one isnt even a travel he doesnt lift the pivot foot.

[Marine4Life51]

i love griffin too...but he did lift his pivot, probably more than once. watch the replay

[straighta797]

he lifted it, look a little bit before...you'll see

[jacobje1996]

Im a ref & I think Knight is "the greatest coach," he explained traveling wrong. It is not how many times you step or move your feet, the key is what he does with his pivot foot. Although Hansbrough walked, it wasnt because he took 7 steps, it was b/c he lifted his pivot & brought it down before shooting. Same with Griffin. It may have been a walk but not for the reasons Knight stated. It appears he lifted his pivot & brought it down upon receiving the ball. Travel is hardest call in bball.

[tamubasketball]

nicely said

[tonysaps1]

Hansblow might as well have walked to the rim there. That was terrible. He is right. You can take one step and pivot from that foot, but as long as that pivot foot doesn't lift then touch the floor again + no travel

[Chancheros]

second one seemed clean to me he kept a pivot foor and jumped off his non pivot foot

[jbage007]

Oh I get it. So you can "shuffle" your pivot foot 5 or 6 feet, so long as you don't pick it up?

What are you? An NCAA ref?

ROFLMFAO!

[jbage007]

zam989s

ur an idiot

that guy took 4 or 5 "shuffles" without a dribble

speaking of dribbles, this is the first thing I've seen Knight say that I actually agree with

[buddaman200522]

Traveling isn't about shuffles or anything like that, it's about the pivot foot.

[beblackmon00]

Shouldn't it have been called blocking foul b/c that guy was bumping Hansbrough out of the way?

[noxcovenant]

I agree.

[CoolSlicez]

Bob Knight is a god, not the God, but a god indeed.

[ferrari4609]

More officials are making the travelling call when Hansblow makes this move now. THANK YOU Bobby Knight. Thank you so much.

[austinh22]

Bob Knight Rules. i've always noticed that too. my dad is always like "he walked. travel. he walked there" lol
