What does that even mean? If you can't see everything you need to see, you are probably missing a lot more than the 3-second call. I think using the excuse that you are prioritizing is a crutch. That's just my opinion.

You are entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. If you don't like it, you don't have to take it. But others may find insight in it, or not.
And as far as the comment, "If you can't see everything you need to see, you are probably missing a lot more than the 3-second call", WTF does that mean? Oh sorry, you never missed a call.
Who says I miss the 3 second call? I was simply saying I'm not gonna miss a clearout foul, or an illegal screen, or an elbow to the jaw because I was sitting there counting to 3 because a player has been there for 1 sec.
And if you don't prioritize your calls based on situations throughout the game, maybe some evaluation is in order.
That's just my opinion.
"And to say you only call traveling when it's "rediculous (sic)" is fascinating to me". Where did this come from?
But I would rather not call it when it is traveling, than to call it when it isn't. But that's just me prioritizing again.
