I think it is not the best way to referee basketball by using the philosophy of "obvious" and "call if I see it". when it comes to calling out of your primary. Maybe sometimes if the game situation calls for it, it is ok to use this philosophy in your secondary. I would prefer the philosophy of "non basketball play" and "I got to get that". I don't think a travel meets this philosophy. I am not alone when i say most calls out of your primary are bad calls. There have been studies concerning calling out of your area. I also believe every official as experienced a partner making a bad call in your area.
