I'm just a guy dreaming of a healthy and active world! Building relationships with my students is the game, Physical Education is the name! #thenewpe

@primvilleduku @SLAM_HS @Keyontekg1 @shobasketball @iversonclassic ...no gather step in HS; that’s a NBA rule.

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@SLAM_HS @Keyontekg1 @shobasketball @iversonclassic Definite travel; this is obvious.

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@TheDZoneBBall @jakhary_33510 This kid is the truth!! He formally played with LeBron James, Jr. with the Blue Chips and might have been just as good - if not better! Watch out for this guy!

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@envyrgn @SportsCenter @_edizzlee ...but if Kawhi, Giannis, or your team would have won, it would have counted, right? 😂😂😂

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@overtime @PangosAACamp Why is this a travel? What did he do wrong? When can’t you slide on a basketball court? #playon

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@Gabe_MaciasGTET @DevInTheLab @HoopsEurope @bballbreakdown Technically, these are BOTH travel violations “by rule” due to the dribbler ending their dribble with possession with a pivot foot on the ground which is lifted and returned to the floor prior to release for the try.

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@AthenaTom2024 Great move! There is no violation here...dribbler never “ended” her dribble! #playon

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@mbrewtraining This is definitely a horrible in real-time and slow motion. Officials should ONLY call obvious fouls/violations and not have these “I got you” moments like we have here. He totally took away 2pts from this team in a tie ball game.

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@NBAOfficial Why are people upset?!? He clearly pulls the defender to the ground by grabbing the jersey after his shot was blocked. Loose ball foul; TB are shooting (2) shoots if in the bonus or it’s side out of not. I think this official (who I think was just hired) makes a great call 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@polargrape @OfficialNBARefs 😂😂😂...you’re #trippin

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@spencermorgank @OfficialNBARefs @NBA Player is allowed to jump into his shot; onus is always on the defender to remain legal at all times. I agree it’s not popular, but it’s the way the rules are written.

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@OfficialNBARefs Foul; no travel. Player is legally able to jump into his shot. Defender moved A to B and made contact. No travel and offensive ball handler is allowed a gather step (0 step) plus 2 additional steps. Shooting (3) FTs

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@BleacherReport @SarahSpain @TheHoopState She yelled, “Game!” #TruthVoice

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@OfficialNBARefs @LegsESPN I usually hate when talking heads attempt to officiate, but Legs got it right! NCI on 1st; NCC on 2nd play

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@MarkBeddard @GSWWarriorsNBA @NBAOfficial @NBATV @warriors @HoustonRockets He has to be in legal guarding position; 2 feet on the ground facing the opponent, he is then allowed to move obliquely to beat the ball-handler to spot; Ariza was never in initial legal guarding position, so when he moved obliquely, it’s illegal contact.

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@tom69edw @NBAOfficial @NBATV @warriors @HoustonRockets ...game management. After his 1st Tech, his 2nd has to be something that is absolutely egregious and caught on film; ie throwing chair, flipping off an official...words really aren’t criteria for Ts

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@NBAOfficial @NBATV @warriors @HoustonRockets Draymond was definitely legal; Ariza not so much! Nice work, Joe!

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@NBAOfficial..you have to review this, but can't call a simple travel or obvious foul! #comeonman officiating is spotty at best

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

@NBAOfficial...this isn't even worth reviewing! If you have officials who need to review this, their too old to be officiating in the league

[Mr. Witherspoon @PE_Made_Fun]

Oh...you don't say? Little ole me ;-) #wpswolfpride https://t.co/Tcifej7O1F
