RIP: The spin move

I feel sorry for refs these days. If they watch a lot of NBA / NBL and the women's versions, they'll see different rules from what they have to call. It must affect what they call.

I've had refs allow NBA travels in division games, and I don't think it was because they were letting the game flow.

It's usually called because the player picks up the ball with their "plant" (or stopping foot) on the ground, then take 2 more steps in the spin, which means they pick up and reground that foot.
If however they continue the dribble in the spin (ie. don't pick up the ball) then they can take the 2 steps.

The trouble I see is that refs started to allow all kinds of travels to happen including players taking 4 steps on the spin because they would then throw in a step through on the end of it.
This was then stopped (as it should have been) and it looked like the move was effectively being outlawed.

If the player does it correctly the move is perfectly legit and shouldn't be called.

The spin move got called a travel because the coaches wanted it called. The coaches formed a group at a blitz in Darwin and made Stacker their spokesman, they wanted everything called...everything
