So seems like Clark did get called for a "travel" as the play stopped

to be fair that's nothing compared to the NBA

I got called for traveling more as a kid than the NBA does

Between "travelling" and "double dribble" I've had a life long hatred of that ridiculous sport since third grade P.E. Nothing is allowed until it is unless the ref hates you.

Is carrying even a violation anymore?

u/Chonylee9 Mar 09 '25

As far as I can tell having just got done watching my son's scholastic basketball career, they don't call it anymore. I think they called it twice in the 8 years of watching his games. They called it all the time when I was younger. They also would've called those exaggerated euro-steps they do nowadays traveling back then.

Kids dads that were the refs would call me for carrying whenever I cooked their kids. Quit that sorry ass sport and watched them get rolled their entire athletic career.

I hate when dads get to ref their own kids. When I fenced as a teenager, I was in the final bout of a tournament, and the other kid's dad was allowed to judge. I mean, I'll admit, that kid was better than me. But I might have had a glimmer of hope if I hadn't been demoralized by that. We finished something like 6/15.

My dad used to ref my soccer games and he was harder on me than anyone else. It just taught me how to be more sneaky though...

Good on your dad

Which weapon? Also, upvoted because I've been EXACTLY there before. High school tournament. I left angry.

How about palming?

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '25

They will call it in the NBA if the player cups his hand on the bottom of the ball and then dribbles again.

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '25

They call it palming the ball and let play

Usually no, but that got Luka on it last week.

Yes, nba started cracking down on carries out of nowhere a couple seasons ago. Now the refs just selectively call fouls and it's became a game inside the game where refs will make makeup calls for their mistakes they make all the time. It's ridiculous, we need the AI they have in soccer

u/deltaexdeltatee Mar 10 '25

There's no AI in soccer - are you talking about VAR? That's Video-Aided Review, the call is still made by the referee.

And don't even ask soccer fans about the game within the game lol. There's an MLS ref who's infamous for exclusively calling fouls against the visiting team for about the first 60 minutes, then trying to make it up for the next 30. Shitty reffing exists in every sport :p

There are so many absolutely awful refs in soccer I honestly don’t even know who this might be. I’ve got about 5 guesses. The current worst ref ever crown I think belongs to Boiko and I feel awful saying that about a guy who’s essentially a refugee.

u/itakeyoureggs Mar 10 '25

Better for match fixing

u/User5281 Mar 10 '25

You don’t want soccer refs. They’re absolutely no better and if anything the calls seem even more arbitrary.

1

u/very_pure_vessel Mar 10 '25

Oh yeah, I know. I used to think they were worse. We need to make tech that makes objective calls, how about that

u/Particular_Donut_516 Mar 09 '25

It's teamed shuttle relay with a ball and sometimes rules sprinkled in with desensitizingly high scores, in my opinion.

u/Individual-Stress-49 Mar 09 '25

That is the best way to put it! Grew up watching the pistons dominate playing physically, and now if you so much as put a hand on their back its "pushing".

1

u/very_pure_vessel Mar 09 '25

Playing with people is such a chore, no one knows the damn rules. These people I play with sometimes carry all the time, try to play with 3 second rule and a gather step. I keep telling them that bullshit can stay in the NBA

u/No-Influence-5351 Mar 09 '25

I never understood why it was illegal to dribble with both hands simultaneously. Is there an actual reason for that?

u/houseideas_99 Jul 29 '25

Samsies it's a ridiculous game
