It is an arbitrary call a lot of times any more. Players consistently catch the ball and take two steps on the perimeter. It is like carrying the basketball - crossover moves are much easier in the current game.

I saw a St P player make Jordan look like he was perfectly compliant to the rule tonight

That rule's been on the way out for decades.

So much of it is arbitrary now. I hate it.

The charge call has now become another to add to the list. DJ literally forcibly backs folks up 2 or 3 feet at a time by knocking them off their spot, yet a defender cannot even make glancing contact on an offensive player. The game has become completely about offense.

As a former coach, I also hate the replay rule inside of 2 minutes of each half. You teach kids that every play matters, yet with this rule it seems that the plays at the end matter much more. If they miss a call with 2:01 left in the half, it isn?t important enough to review. I would much prefer that they give a coach 2 replay reviews per half than to keep what they now use.

I could go on, but I will get off my soapbox now. Sorry for the rant.

You could easily argue that he took five steps after ending that dribble.

Then a few plays later they call a travel on MSU. It was a travel, but they are so arbitrary about calling it.
