It becomes more ridiculous the more you see it. On Saturday at Virginia Tech, Jon Scheyer decided he needed some YouTube love as well. With the Hokies down 3 with about 23 seconds left in the game Scheyer catches an inbounds pass at about the foul line at the Virginia Tech end of the floor. The Hokies trap, and Scheyer proceeds to spin his way about 9 feet towards the baseline, again without ever taking a dribble.
This was a blatant walk right in front of the official, who instead of calling a travel and the Hokies having a chance to tie and force overtime, is for some reason looking at Kyle Singler, who calls for a timeout while Scheyer is still dancing. To make it even worse, 5.7 seconds ran off the clock and there was no 5 second call. Pitiful officiating at the most crucial part of the game.
One call does not necessarily sway the outcome of a game, let me make that clear. But these two travels are two of the most absurd I think I’ve ever seen, and will live in YouTube infamy.
