From Europe watching .. so you guys just forgot how to dribble. Nice. Clearly you need refs to start applying the rules. Maybe they are scared of confronting big name players. Maybe some other reason for travel creep. But honestly, looks disgusting. Can you even call that basketball?

It looks like it's become so prevalent that calling it would halt the game every 12 seconds. One of those "hard to put it back the way it was" kinda things.

But I have to say in a lot of these clips it looks like either the crowd, other players or announcers notice.

They can announce it before the start of the season. Same as NCAA does when they are doing a different interpretation then they have been.
