At a middle school with no cuts and a B-Team, I am glad when the little travels are not called. When a girl takes 2 steps and then dribbles, it IS called. The B team girls (90% of whom will not play in HS) even know this is a travel. As much as we practice and go over it, I still have girls who when the pressure is on shuffle both feet and I am not upset when it isn't called (for or against my team), and I am not upset when it is called.
If every travel had been called in yesterday's game I think we would still be there. :-) But my definition of a "little travel" might be different than somebody else's. However, middle school GIRLS basketball, especially the B-Team, is more a social gathering than it is a serious athletic endeavor.
