I don't think it's an epidemic as the original poster seems to indicate. But I do think that traveling is the toughest call in basketball.

You and Jeff may be right that it's the toughest call, but it seems pretty obvious that a lot of refs lean toward leniency rather than strictness. I disagree that the only blatant travels yesterday were at the beginning of the dribble. I saw at least two that were on clear breaks to the basket. No question about allowing an extra step or two after the ball was clearly gathered.
