I'm Trail. A1 steals the ball and passes to A2 who is about 6ft away from me. I turn around in transition and start heading the other way. A2 is running within a foot of the sideline and I am trying to stay out of the stands and out of his way. He collides with be and as result traveled. I just let them play on and ignored the travel. Coach B doesn't complain since it was obvious what happened. Coach A is upset that I was in his players way. How do you handle this? I talked to my partner at half time and we agreed that if it happened again, the other official would blow the ball then give the ball back to the offense (in this case team A).

Sometimes at the middle school level, we do things that are "fair" even if they aren't totally by the rules. I don't have a big problem with that, even though by rule it's a travel.
I do have a problem with the A coach though. You just did him a favor and he's mad at you. Sigh.
