I see the described travel called occasionally. Even though its the correct call, the poor official who does call it is the one who gets the abuse, because its called so rarely. To make matters worse, the official usually has to make the call two or three times - against the same player. The player and coach don't understand because "no one else calls it".
We occasionally see a referee during the AAU season who calls it consistently. People know it, and respect it.
Last, we have a couple of girls that travel every time they catch a pass with both feet on the floor, then immediately shoot (no dribble in between). After catching the pass (both feet on the floor), they take a small step with one foot, then a small jump with both feet, then shoot after returning to the floor. It happens very quickly, and is rarely called.
