Pivot foot is key for me
I try to make a mental note of the ball handler's pivot foot, when and where it was established. I see that foot come down again in another spot without a pass or shot, that's when I'm seeing the travel. I suppose a jump stop is sort of an exception to that, but jump stops are stupid anyhow. I don't know when that became a rule, or if it always was, but I think they're ridiculous and most kids think it's a license to travel. "WHAT?!?!? Why'd you call a travel, ref? It was a jump stop!!" Yeah, but you pivoted after the stop!
