The first travel you described pains me to see. I have to admit letting it go a lot more times than I've called it. Of course when I do call it, it always come with grief from coaches and fans. An explanation of what I saw never is satisfying. Why? Because it is not called very often.
The "no control" travel is one that I understand the logic, but it isn't right either. If we want to stay out of trouble when entering a gym we should buy a ticket instead officiating. If I'm in front of the coach and he wants travel I just give a quick football mechanic (I know...it isn't really a football mechanic either) with my hands that says no control.
However, if someone higher up is telling me how to call such plays, I will try to abide by their wishes.
