JJ Redick spoke with Monty McCutchen, the NBA’s SVP of ref development, Monday to discuss the Lakers-Celtics game. He remains perplexed why Neemias Queta was not called for goaltending for sticking his hand through the rim. “If I was Wemby I would literally [do it] every time”
Referees will miss calls occasionally. Human.
But, @fatbaldguyracin , this ain't one of them.
This is a basic step through (s/o to @StepThroughJoe ) which has been around since the peach basket.
This non travel call is killing basketball, YOU CANT CHANGE pivot feet. For 200 yrs in basketball this is a WALK , but lately the refs have decides you can just take another step. It is happening every night in CBB and its never called anymore. Its a freaky travel.
There is no specific rule that says you cannot pass to yourself. It’s treated as a dribble if the player picks it up. So you then ask if his dribble had already ended. If not, legal. If yes, double dribble.
