The conversations I had with that particular coach in the game made me really think about it again. He knew the game well. This same situation is one I don't seem to see called in alot of college and upper level HS games. Like I said earlier, it seems that I'm calling this travel a lot more than other officials I see and work with. Either I'm good at getting this, or I'm not seeing things correctly and I'd like to make sure I'm getting it right.

The way you described the play originally you called the play right. Now if you were to say he caught the ball in the air then hopped.......well, now I need to go to the rulebook on that.
I'll look up jump-stops and travels on my lunch break.
