Corey Maggette Learned To Travel at Duke

A couple of weeks ago, a video of Corey Maggette traveling six times in one play hit the tubes, helping reinforce just how poorly the traveling rule is enforced. Thanks to Duke’s game against Wake Forest this weekend, we now know where Maggette learned to walk with the ball with such flair: Duke University. In the above video, we have freshman guard Elliot Williams displaying his “How to Walk in a Basketball Game and Get Away With It” skills he undoubtedly learned during his limited tenure with Coach K. However, Williams actually two-ups Maggette by getting away with what looks like 12 extra steps.
Maggette, for his efforts, only got away with six.
Maybe there’s something in the way Coach K teaches the switching of pivot feet so it hypnotizes the officials into not seeing it, because no other explanation seems to fit.
H/T to Mr Irrelevant for the video (via Brahsome).

That’s about as bad as it gets. You have to wonder just WTH the officials are seeing when that’s going on.
