Dude started the match in Nevada and ended in Tokyo with that kind of traveling.

Clearly several travels and they should be called as turnovers… as usual great videos, Coach

I don’t understand how b-ball breakdown doesn’t have a million subscribers yet it’s been way past due

As a fan of a WCC team, Timme has been doing this for his entire career and is rarely called for it. I really started to second guess myself cuz all I ever heard was how phenomenal his footwork is. I'm happy to learn that I'm not the only one seeing it and I'm not losing my mind

I like how if you look at the post on Twitter, it's a bunch of people replying negatively, saying "why change it if they don't call it" and surprised pikachu, well, they did.

The commentators talking about how stellar his foot work is was hilarious

I am gonna travel 9 times, every time I touch the ball..... And complain relentlessly. Brutal to watch

great breakdown, great analysis of the difference in the travel rules between nba and college, great knowledge of the factors that referees look at when evaluating whether a travel and the different types of pivot plays; only thing I would add, as a long-time basketball ref with some non-division 1 college experience, traveling and violations in general are not a preferred call and referees often use the mantra "don't split hairs"; it is commonly understood among college refs (something the prior NCAA assignor John Adams pointed out) that travels are at the top of the list for wrong calls (because pivots and foot movements happen so fast and referees do not get to rewind and play things in slow mo) and the game does not need wrong violations being called. So I think most refs at that level would tell you that they err on the side of not calling travels both not calling ones that they have any doubt about and also potentially even passing on some they see but that are not clearly consequential. You note that your opinion is that some of the ones passed on were consequential, which is a key point that so many miss, advantage/disadvantage applies as an overlay for all rules, but I think there is a lot of gray there and lots of room to debate about how consequential it is to slide a pivot foot a couple of inches; anyway, there is a lot of referee philosophy that could be debated in the area of travels (the NBA's loose rules on travels make it even harder for a college ref to want to call many travels, all of these factors add up), overall you see the tendency of top refs to not want to call travels that feel like a nit pick or that are not "obvious to everyone in the building" and referees get sick of hearing fans who are so biased about travels: their team cannot get a stop so they want refs to call a travel on every play against the opponent and they loose their mind if one gets called on their own team :)

the Coffeezilla of basketball

looks like the uconn staff was on top of it, and made it a point of emphasis to notify the refs of what to look for.

I played social ball from when I was 6 years old. We NEVER travelled like that. Nor did our opponents. We had high school kids reffing us grown men and they would call that every time. This sort of crap never happened in our league. People tried not to travel but when it happened, 9 times out of 10 it would be called. This is atrocious.

Unfortunate they aren't calling this consistently. I obviously don't think these should've been left uncalled, but it sucks that Timme is suddenly left confused because of this reffing inconsistency

You had me ROLLING in this one Coach Nick! Thank you for all of the time you put in. I love your videos \(^__^)/

Thank you for avenging my UCLA Bruins

You're spot on with this video. It's got to also be confusing for the players when the officiating is so inconsistent. I'd love to see Traveling and Carrying the ball, called more often.... I guess with carrying the ball, they'd have to actually call it.

That is hard when kids play with bad fundamentals that they even don't know what they did. This is also an effect of bad officiating and coaching. I am sure they allowed this for most of Timme's career to the point that he is so used to it. It was great calling him out on this and at least the refs starting calling some of his violations. Great videos as always.

He would feel right at home in the NBA with those uncalled travels

Awesome video, your the first person I've ever heard talk about the advantage these little things give to the offense. The extra steps and carries, it's impossible to play defense. Very cool guy. I hope to see more

The crazy part is commentators highlight his footwork his strength all the time😂😂

I didn't realise college didn't have a gather step. That gets confusing when both FIBA and NBA do. The post up pivot foot stuff is pretty blatant though. In a way, this is tough on him. If he's been doing this all year and its allowed, its really hard to adjust when it finally gets called at the end of the season.

I dont know, It looks like this kind of travel-ish footwork is being normalized throughout all levels of american basketball.

The same guy on the UCLA bench is livid everytime he traveled and there was a no call lmao

It is amazing with all those travels uncalled, in addition to hookings, and UCLA short 2 starters that the game came down to last shot basically.

Maybe you should do a breakdown of some great Kobe and Steve Nash footwork.

That's exactly why everyone says he is so good around the rim with footwork..he's not..he's not NBA talent... Been saying this sh1t all season. Great breakdown and video . Subscribed!! 💯

I truly love this channel. I was the 1st 2000 subscriber 🎉

Yup Timmie won't be playing in anywhere but overseas or the Gleauge. The college low post game just doesn't translate to today's NBA

You are 100% allowed to pick up your pivot foot before the ball leaves your hand. If that myth - that you cannot lift your pivot foot before the ball leaves your hand - were true, you would NOT be allowed to dribble the ball up the court, stop, pick up your dribble with both hands (eliminating the potential controversy of a carry so we can objectively observe for travelling or double dribbling) and shoot a jump shot. When you dribble the ball up the court and pick up your dribble at your end of the court, you will have established a pivot foot. There is a foot you can pivot on to perhaps swing the ball to the other end of the court. However, let's say the defense doesn't consider you a threat to shoot from where you picked up your dribble - let's say Javale McGree at the 3 point line - so all 5 defenders leave you open in favor of denying the passing lanes to your teammates (off ball pressure). In that instance, if McGee decided to shoot a 3, his pivot foot would inherently leave the ground before the ball left his hands. The rule doesn't change because of the type of shot you take. The rule is that you cannot put your established pivot foot back down before the ball leaves your hand. That would be a 3rd step. The problem is this rule - traveling - has been destroyed by the demand for high octane, entertaining offense in big business basketball operations for the sake of marketing.

This is every big in the rec center who got no game but they just big so they camp in the paint for easy bucket but travel like crazy.

I need to know coach, so if by the time you're holding a ball, one of your feet is on the floor, that is counted as one step? If so, a lot of moves need to be called travel in NCAA, I feel like.

I feel that some of the referees just let these travels calls slide in order to allow a faster game rhythm to attract more audience.

I think the clip at 1.11 isn't really a travel because the pivot foot not been established there. We still cannot decide which one is the pivot until he move with one

Question, so in professional basket a 1-2 gather jumpstop were take off is made before contact with the ball is legal even with a "third" step after the 1-2 stop ?

Luka did the timme travel when he made that crazy baseline pass the other day

Drew Timme is going to have good career playing in Japan or Germany or maybe Spain

When keeping it real goes right! - Zags fan

I officiated college ball for 12 years and all these referees you see on tv, they all would tell us in the summertime not to call those indiscreet walks and it always infuriated me

A lot of what you covered that ARE travels be the biggest arguements at the park 😂😂😂

Yo, some of those, I legit bust out laughing, how was he getting away with these, dawg, you need to coach these referees

Bruh, I'm 40, I'm alone shooting around at a middle school court and even I don't do this and, if I do, I immediately stop what Im doing while shaking my head in disappointment.

Being honest if a tech company brought a tech gizmo that could calibrate when a ball is caught, the amount of on catch travels would put the game back into the dark ages.

Sanogo such a good defender

3:03 he literally took three steps AFTER establishing that pivot foot

ncaa needs to allow gather step. every player does it many times a game anyways and its uncalled.

Wait, in college basketball, if you stand on one foot and you pick the ball up, you cant take two steps? Or is it that the steps start counting when you touch the ball and not when you gather the ball? Im confused here, because Ive been basically playing fiba rules all my life

I love the victorious music against UCONN, as justice was being served 😂

Timme? This is one of the big reasons I stopped watching baskstball. In the Madness tournament I lost track of how many travels and especially walks I saw and craddling the ball.. The game has lost a lot of its luster. This issue is all over NBA. It has become a joke. Thanks for pointing this out

Hoosier fan, here. Can you look at trace Jackson Davis as he spins around players in the post. I swear he travels every time

They palm the ball for about 10 steps in the NBA, different things, same effect, but it’s rarely called. Traveling in basketball is like holding in football, happens all the time, just selective enforcement.

Can you so be a favor and tell me Jokic never travels when he does that triple pump spin footwork crap he does? I clearly see travel sometimes but not sure I have ever seen it called

That editing from 3:01 to 3:07 got me laughin

College and HS needs to add the gather step!

😂 @ the announcers. What game were they watching?

Slides 6-8 inches??? Whaaat bro?? 🤣🤣🤣 Remember, Measuring from the balls don't count 😂

At least they call this in the NBA. It’s tough to see so many people praising his footwork, and then trying to compare him to NBA footwork like Jalen Brunson. It’s not even close.

Thank you

Lot of people will say everyone travels in today's nba but this is the worst traveling I've ever seen,

The Shuffler nemesis of the Penguin.

The problem is inconsistent reffing not his moves

So, basically, coach, what you're telling me is that my bracket is busted because of your tweets before the UConn game? Damn you and your infernal basketball knowledge!

that's the most blatant travelling I've ever seen

“Look at the footwork” yeah we will see the traveling

Some of these are bad some are soo quick that refs miss it and they'll never be called (ever in a practical sense) and some are as a result of letting the players play.

bball you're the savior... correcting someone is not wrong, we just want a fair game

Show the clip of Mark Few saying that those calls shouldnt be made lol

imagine being the players who matched with him seeing this 😂😂😂

Now do one for giannis

Lifting the pivot foot a little before putting the ball on the floor from a stop/triple threat is not the end of the world; im generally ok with refs letting that go. But the constant moving/sliding of the pivot is egregious, and has to be called.

hah, great footwork uncle Drew. but you gotta save it when you travel to Cancun

Uncalled travels are rampant throughout the modern NBA and college basketball. It’s seems odd to just focus on one player.

Guys on the bench all saying travel while refree is staring directly at the play , No more travels in the NBA or NCAA

bro on the ucla bench would be a good ref

Timme practicing his euro steps for the next level

Its hard to clean something that you never thought was dirty, or at least other people didnt think it was dirty.

Funny thing is the referees are always right there in plain view and they never make these calls. I wonder how much they make on the spread. Call the games fairly.

Love the content coach but it's an interesting hill to die on. I think if you did this with similar physical post players in the NBA the video would be two hours long 😂.

you feel terrible? for getting the refs to clean up this dude's shady moves? eff that man, we'd call that shit in the gym in a heart beat. refs are so incompetent it literally hurts my head.

This is why players should not be allowed to say JACKSHIT to a ref. He doesn't even know the rule. Getting away with it is not an excuse to complain when it does get called.

I'll be honest I see a ton of black guards move like this and the new generation things it's skilled footwork, im flabbergasted

Reminds me of Isiah Thomas. If you’re allowed to just carry the ball, a good/great player becomes unguarable

I always thought you were allowed a step before its a travel. Is that not how nba calls it ?

I wonder if NBA teams have seen this? Cause, this could be a draft problem for him, as he's been playing like this for years. NBA refs would call this all day.

As a Warriors fan I know that Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jordan poole have just as egregious plays where they travel.

This dude has been doing this for for years? How bad are college coaches and refs lmao, I'm shaking my head so rapidly my brains are now a smoothie

5-6 steps. What a joke

Still waiting for Time travel 🙂😂

Yes

He traveled so hard it busted my bracket 😭

Some of these were pretty egregious and should have been called, but also I think you would find a lot of this stuff if you slowed the game tape down on quite a few players.

LOL 0:28 WHY ISN'T THAT A CHARGE. It's why I don't watch it anymore.....the refs, and the NCAA/NBA DON'T KNOW THE RULES OF THEIR OWN GAME. Bballbreakdown even says "After he initiates contact"....that is, by definition, AN OFFENSIVE FOUL. And you're totally right about the violations.....but that's NOTHING compared to all the "BS defensive fouls" called these days. Fun fact: The ballhandlers "off hand" needs to be in "a neutral position"......not the Derrick Henry forearm that they do. LOL

this guy walks all of time, glad you called him out on that

Players slide and move their pivot foot all the time at every level. It is literally the most overlooked technical violation in the game. It seems quite dumb to target one player over something every player does.

I’m watching closely because that’s gonna be great in pickup. Use it sparingly and no one will suspect a thing

Can you make a video on the mavs slump

I'm biased but after watching the first few examples the ref could have called fouls too. Pivot foot does move a bit but timme getting fouled.. Letting both go (travel and foul) isn't the worst idea because the only chance the defense has down there vs timme is when the refs are loose and letting them play

my guy sounds like he so over them travel 😂

I knew I wasn't crazy, refs never called it on him throughout his entire college career

Makes you wonder about the officiating.

Thank you for calling out the refs and saving TRUE basketball fundamentals
