The following exchange took place at an association meeting regarding handling guys camped in the paint:

DISCUSSION LEADER: Situation: A1 is down in the low post, in the key, for an excessive period of time, and you have warned him previously and shooed him out of there a couple of times. He does it again, and then the ball is passed down into him and he spins toward the basket, to attempt a layup. How do you handle the situation?

OFFICIAL: I blow my whistle as he makes his spin move, and call a travel.

DL: I didn't say he travelled, and he didn't travel.

OFFICAL: I still call a travel.

DL: Why?

OFFICIAL: Cause the coach never questions the travelling call, but they always ride your @$$ for a 3 second call.
