Tim,
You really need to check out the casebook on this call. I have had that play twice this year. The first time, I blew my whistle, hesitated a split second to hash over in my brain what had just happened and called a travel. The funny thing is that the public address announcer goes "TRAVEL?". It sounded like Jim Mora when he said, "Playoffs?" Game management told me they went to the announcer and said, "I don't know if he can T you up, but I can remove you." I asked the announcer at half time and he just said he hasn't ever seen that call. I said, "you probably have never read a rule book, either." It is a strange play usually the ball is hit from the side rather than on top of the ball. If the player doesn't lose control of the ball, it is a travel.
