A lot of this is how we call JH ball. I know when I call JH, especially the B level games, I sometimes don't call it until they take their 5th step. If I called every travel at that level, we would be there all night with a 0-0 score. At the High School level(freshman up) we need to call every thing that the rule book says is a travel whether the d1 official agrees with it or not. The kids need to learn how to do a jump stop and not get happy feet. On several evaluation forms I have used over the years, the question was there as to whether or not you felt like the official being evaluated was aware of the pivot foot.
