Not kidding at all. This is the one good thing about calling little kids games locally where you know everybody. A situation like this happens, the fans all stand and say, in unison, HEY!!You call nothing, the buzz continues for a few seconds, and then it is gone. Later you can pick out somebody you thought should know something, and ask them, "What were y'all yelling about?" The answer goes something like, "That kid, uh, traveled, or double dribbled, or something." Then you can explain the rule and work toward educating the public. (good luck) This also happens A LOT on backcourt and .3 at the end of a quarter.
