Don’t get this wrong, Brad Brownell is not complaining about not getting the calls or bad officiating in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Clemson coach was just simply answering a few questions for the ACC media on the coaches’ teleconference call on Monday.

In the teleconference call, Brownell said he was not sure if there is a defined meaning of what is and is not a traveling violation. He also went to bat for his senior center Landry Nnoko, who consistently keeps getting in foul trouble.

“He is a guy that unfortunately has battled some foul issues. I think some of it is unfair to be honest with you,” Brownell said. “I think there are times he gets called for some things that are not really fouls.”

Nnoko got called for three fouls in the Tigers’ 66-52 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday, but two of them came in the opening 20 minutes and forced the 6-foot-10, 255-pound center to sit most of the half on the bench.

In Clemson’s 13 ACC games, Nnoko has fouled out twice and has been called for at least four fouls in seven others.

“Some of that is just his body-type, just being bigger and longer and having long limbs,” Brownell said.

Some of that is based on Nnoko’s reputation, too. The previous three years at Clemson, he has become notorious for being too rough with his opponents or being out of position when trying to make a play.

As for the traveling calls or the lack thereof, Brownell used an example of what happened in the Georgia Tech came to describe how no one really knows what a travel is these days.

Tech guard Marcus Georges-Hunt threw up a shot off balance that did not hit anything and then went and caught it. Brownell was asking for a travel, but the officials quickly came over and explained that it was not.

“There are all kinds of things that come up in games that we think we know, but we really don’t know the the letter of the law,” the Clemson coach said.

“They told me you can shoot a ball as long as it is an attempt, and you can catch your own miss. That’s not traveling,” Brownell continued. “That shocked me. How do you determine what a shot is? Around the basket and all of that is very arbitrary.”

The biggest dispute of traveling this week was Grayson Allen’s buzzer beater to beat Virginia on Saturday. The Duke guard took what looks like a Euro-step, which is considered acceptable, but there was a question on whether he took another half-step.

Brownell would not comment on the call or no-call directly, but he said part of the issue with the traveling calls is that there is no clear definition on any of it.

“The Euro-step and what does that mean? I don’t know. I don’t have it all figured out exactly,” he said. “No, is the simple answer. I don’t know if any of us really do. At first when I saw the Grayson Allen’s drive, I thought they were talking about the travel on the Euro-step he was making because it looked like he took two and a half steps there, but it is hard to tell. Then when we start looking at it in slow motion then you are like, ‘Well, no he didn’t. It was just kind of a Euro-step.’ Then they start, well they are looking at his foot landing. It’s a tough call, now. These are all tough calls, tough plays so the short answer is no.”
