The officiating is by design. They want it to be the NBA. That's why Jimmy Dykes keeps ranting about continuation and how it needs to be adopted by the college game. Also, in recent years, you see players jawing with the refs after every call. Years ago, that wasn't a thing. You're starting to see certain players protected by refs as well. The game is slipping into obscurity. At least for the traditionalists, that is.

Continuation is something I actually do agree should be universal. Because when you interrupt a dude's drive, obviously you know what you're doing. Trying to stop an easy score. And if he still puts it in, deal with it.

But travels? They need to be called. Quit ignoring it. As many have pointed out before me, the requirement to dribble is arguably the most fundamental aspect of this game! Let's (PLEASE) not let go of that.

Absolutely correct! Another problem is the “everyone does it” excuse. Pivot feet change- no call. Carry the ball on a cross over-no call. Catch the ball and run two steps until before you dribble or stop- no call. It’s very difficult to defend in today’s game.

If you call travel on that you are just looking to impact the game as an official. Whoever said there were 4 steps is being ridiculous.

Watched it twice, and it was a “travel” both times, but it’s not going to get called in that situation because I don’t believe it gave the shooter an advantage! Perhaps, the player defending him should close out the gap?

If you don't call traveling on that call which was undeniable you are also impacting the game showing a possible officiating bias. Rules are in place for a reason. So as to not give an unfair advantage.

So then you’re saying it was a travel but they let stuff that is equally egregious or worse go all the time?

No, I’m saying put anything in slow motion or on replay and the opinion can change. If this wasn’t the last shot, no one would care

It is a travel regardless of what Fanta says. The argument of "you are not going to call that at that point in the game is absurd." If that is the case, the CSU defender should have just tackled him to the ground because the official shouldn't make a call to "decide" the game.

Also.....about every other breakaway dunk Oweh has is a travel. I am waiting for it to be called.

Has there every been a travel called on a last second NCAA game shot to win? I seriously doubt it, and I doubt it ever will be called. That is just the game and the way its officiated

There is no precedent for that call to be made

Didn’t think it was a walk live. Didn’t think it was a walk in slow motion and now definitely don’t think it was a walk after Steratore discussed the rule.

There’s no gather step in NCAA. With that in mind look where his dribble ends and how many full steps he takes. I count three.

gather step. yep. there is no gather step in the NCAA. If that hip check is a foul, then my god... but he clearly took three steps.

Review the basket, take it away.

actually change the outcome of the game. He travelled. Upon review. he travelled.

Colorado State WAS ROBBED

NCAA officiating at it's best right there.

NCAA officials swallow, they don't spit, folks.

I thought it was a walk live. Definitely a walk on the replay. Definitely still a walk after listening to Steratore use mental gymnastics trying to cover it up. Basically tried to say that when he picked his drbble up and pinned it to his hip, that that didn't count has having control of the ball and the first step didn't count.
That is nothing but hogwash. If that were true, what would prevent a player from taking unlimited steps before putting two hands on the ball?
Another dead giveaway was his and couple of the after game commentators(Jay Wright- Candace Parker crew, not Kellogg and Barkley show) when explaining. One could tell they themselves didn't really believe what they were saying.
Of course a NBA crew would not think it was a travel.

The guy that's paid to tell us not to believe our lying eyes lol. I know he just said he could bobble the ball all the way to the hoop legally too. Just cut the BS.

I don't think Steratore explained it eloquently. He was trying to describe the initial step as a gather since Queen didn't have control of the ball during that step. He gained control and then took 2 steps and shot before the 3rd step with control.

"A player who gathers the ball while dribbling may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing, or shooting the ball.
  1. The first step occurs when a foot, or both feet, touch the floor after gaining control of the ball.
  2. The second step occurs after the first step when the other foot touches the floor, or both feet touch the floor simultaneously."
IMO, he didn't have control of the ball until the second of the three steps. Then took that third step total and shot before taking another step.

RULE NO. 10: Violations and Penalties

Section I—Out-of-Bounds A player shall not be the last to touch the ball before it goes out-of-bounds. PENALTY: Loss of ball. The ball is awarded to the opposing team at the boundary line nearest the spot of the violation. EXCEPTION: On a throw-in which goes out of bounds and is not touched by a...

I appreciate you spelling it out, much much better I might add, than Gene did. His explanation made no sense really. 👍🏻
