Kelvin, that's just it. Black and white rules references only. Travels are judgment calls, and judgment calls aren't eligible for protest. Coaches aren't going to waste their timeouts when they don't know the rules. When they do know the rules, then the refs won't have to worry about so much griping.
Also, FWIW, there ought to be some recourse when the refs are making calls that have no rules basis; such as "first to touch," or traveling on a throw-in, or giving the HC an indirect for changing the book after the 10 minute mark. I like it as long as judgment calls are exempt, and as long as there is a punishment for losing the protest. If there are no timeouts, either disallow the protest, or give them their timeout (and it's accompanying technical foul).
