We let some travels slide.
I love this level of ball, and I"ve divided the travels up into five categories, all of which, except the last, are ignorable unless they confer significant advantage.

1) The "Oo, oo, I Got the Ball!!" travel

2) The "I'm Supposed to Pass, Where's the Point Guard?" travel

3) The "Winding Down After a Great Drive" stutter step

4) The "I Have Absolutely No Clue What I'm Doing" wander
aka the "We're 40 Points Behind, and the Ref Hasn't Called this Yet" shuffle

and last, but not least,

5) The "This Defender is So Annoying!" two-step (this involves pivoting 180 degrees to the left, then changing pivot feet, and pivoting 180 degrees to the right). If there are elbows involved in this one, I'll call the elbow.
