[Kansas Ref]

Often in my games when I encounter occurrences that would demand my consideration of the legality of a "high-dribbling action", it is the player/dribbler themselves that stops high-dribbling [despite no whistle] and hands the ball to me---mis-believing they've committed a violation and thereby often precluding my fair adjudication.
Now I must say that I do not then call a traveling violation while said player is politely walking the ball to me for apparently a resumption of play---hey I'm not a monster. Yet I used to at times wonder if I was perpetuating their mis-belief; however, I'm the Referee not their Coach.
