The pros take 3 steps every time they drive to the basket...and the refs NEVER call traveling.

Add the thug culture, I stopped watching pros many, many moons ago.

College basketball is only interesting in March.

Correction: Three steps and two hops. They drive from mid-court and the ball never touches the ground.

I watched a game on TV in 1987, NBA vs Soviet All Stars, in Moscow. Three refs, two NBA, one Soviet. The Soviet guy called travel on about every other possession, by the NBA. The NBA guys cried like little babies, to the NBA refs.

Finally, after about five minutes, there was a time out. The NBA refs cornered the Soviet guy. Not sure what they said, but it must have been along the lines of “We don’t call traveling”. I think the Soviet guy must have swallowed his whistle.
