Good answer.

I had something similar the other day in a scrimmage. A1 was trapped after he picked up his dribble. He tried to step through the defenders with his pivot foot. Just as his pivot foot touched the floor he dribbled again. I blew the whistle and my first thought was "...errr....travel...? double dribble...??" and I could feel myself going into over-think mode as I got a sudden urge to do the Macarena. Luckily I snapped out of it and gave the travel signal.

It's still early, I'll get better...not so certain about A1 though
