Football and basketball need more refs on the field/court. Stuff like this should never happen.

These officiating mistakes happen so much I’m to the point that I don’t think the refs in the NBA even care about traveling. Meanwhile, we see players get nitpicked in big moments in college though (see tbe ending of Bama v Tennessee.)

I think for a second he wanted to start dribbling the ball again after the third step but he realized that might not go over well so he just tucked it and ran.

At least that one was called.
Isn't there a rule clarification that says those crabwalk steps are not travel unless the offensive player gains an advantage? I thought i heard or read that somewhere.

Ah yes, the rare four step gather and kick out.

Start counting Brewer's steps once he gathers the ball.
He has a big dribble, gathers, then takes 2 steps. Not travel.
A lot of folks dont understand traveling because they dont understand the difference between a big dribble and fully picking up your dribble with 2 hands.

Count the steps from when he has 2 hands on the ball. Which is considered a "gather".
Whether or not the player has gathered the ball is important to what an official may call. Whether it's a foul or traveling.

Rest of the article goes in depth.
Point is Brewer takes a "big dribble " and the ref isnt counting his steps until he gathers the ball, which is when he has both hands on the ball.
quote:
The moves look crazy, awkward or downright illegal. On their way to the basket, NBA players take what looks like three or four steps as they C-walk around defenders. We’ve all seen the highlights. That’s gotta be a travel, right?
quote:
Right — and wrong. Some of these moves are travels. But the players are too large, fast and skilled for the refs to see it — so they’re not travels. Which leads to more uncalled travels. Which is changing the very nature of the game.
Confused? You’re not alone. Let’s take it step by Eurostep:
quote:
This new NBA generation features players who are so fast, so talented — and, in the person of Giannis Antetokounmpo, so Greek Freaking long — referees sometimes can’t tell whether they are taking an extra step. In other words, refs can’t say for sure in real time that it’s a violation, so they swallow their whistles.
“The NBA has always had a little bit of leniency on that particular call,” two-time MVP Stephen Curry told The Undefeated.
“It’s a little inconsistent because guys are really superathletic, quick, fast. It’s hard to watch everything,” said Curry, whose handle is so slick he got away with a double dribble during this viral bucket on Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James during last season’s NBA Finals.
Take this drive by Antetokounmpo:
quote:
At first glance, it looks like an obvious three-step travel. Nobody should be able to pick up his dribble at the 3-point line, slalom around two defenders and hammer down a dunk. But Antetokounmpo is 6-11 with a 7-3 wingspan and the speed and agility of a cheetah. His move here falls under the “gather” rule, which the NBA either clarified or changed (depending on your opinion) in 2009. Once the player has “gathered” the ball, meaning he’s holding it in both hands and can no longer dribble, he is allowed two more steps.
quote:
The question is, exactly when did Antetokounmpo pick up his dribble?
“It’s supposed to be a real simple concept: A player has ended his dribble, has control of the ball and is driving toward the basket going for a shot,” said Joe Borgia, the NBA’s senior vice president of referee & replay operations and one of the league’s foremost experts on the rules.
