To the original question. . .

Chuck
These are some things that I have seen happen and refs don't consistently call correctly.

1. The b/c where A1 passes in f/c, B1 taps toward b/c, A2 touches but does not control in f/c, then recovers in b/c. This is b/c, but often not called as a b/c violation, with the most common reason given that A wasn't in control when it went b/c.

2. The non-b/c where A1 on baseline inbounds to A2, ball is too high and A2 deflects into b/c and then recovers. This is often called a b/c violation, even though A never has team control due to throw-in.

3. Fumbling, stumbling catch - A1 on the move, receives pass but does not catch cleanly, takes three steps while bobbling ball, jump stops and grabs ball firmly - not a travel, but many think it is.

You could modify the situation to have the ball bobbled for a couple of steps, dropped (no control), the grabbed with two hands with both feet on floor, then a dribble is started - again no violation but you could prompt for DD or travel to see if there are any takers.
