Are you serious?
Don't worry about calling violations? Traveling is a nit-picky call? If you call a violation that occurred, you're over-officiating?
I've got to admit that you're constantly setting your own bar higher and higher. You're at the point where it's almost impossible to top yourself anymore.
A game that has a lot of travels in it means that the players are traveling a lot. That's all. We don't commit violations; we just call them.
What works in the 7/8 year-old division of your Monday night rec league doesn't work in a real basketball game. Constantly missing violations is a one-way ticket to your rec leagues, Old School.
