He doesn't have to gain "possession of the ball with two hands"...

If at right before he took the ball with his right hand if he had instead kept dribbling. It would have been a travel. So he had possession of the ball (quit dribbling) before his left hand touched it.

For the record, this is barely a travel IMHO

No, based on the way refs in all leagues are lazy about guys taking steps

Nobody is ever going to call that a travel.

Utes fans complaining about the travel call are just irrationally upset.

Or the shot clock violation that wasn't called but gave the Utes 2 points.

Definitely a travel. However, I think this happens several times a game.

That's funny. The Utes want to complain about bad calls. Did they not watch

Does The Pac12 apologize about the multiple bad calls against Oregon before that

Just that technically by the rules it was probably a "travel"

It was a travel. Bradley's knee was down.

Were they also outraged by the missed shot clock violation?

THIS IS NOT A TRAVEL, TRUST ME. In bball your steps don't start to count

here's a youtube video that explains it

I actually think it is a travel.

you looking at his right foot or left, he picks up the ball when his left

I am just guessing about when the ball comes to rest in his left hand

PolarisPrime

3/14/15 2:36am

only looks weird in slow mo. His step with his right foot is his last dribble

if you watch the youtube I posted above this exact scenario is explained,4 steps

This one can be debated, the travel by SDSU cannot. The refs screwed up on that

Holy Cow. Just watched that play in real time. I changed my mind. NOT a travel.

It is probably technically a travel but no way would it ever be called

It is a travel, and Bradley's knee was down.
