As Z said, how do you fake a bobble? I've never seen or heard anything like that either.

For the purpose of making a traveling call, you simply have to judge if the player is holding the ball or not when he makes those extra foot movements. Straight judgement call, and not a tough one either imo if you're in a position that will allow you to see the ball and the player's hands.

Z, I think that your statement about officials not being perfect, even at a relatively high level, is a fair statement.
