I am going to add my two cents worth on travels in the NBA
I have learned a couple of valuable lessons from NBA/WNBA refs
1) if you are refereeing the defense like you are supposed to,(and the NBA officials are some of the best at reffing the defense) you will miss travels. If you like to watch the offense and the guy with the ball you'll never miss a travel but call either miss or mis-call the illegal screens, miss some other fouls by the defense, or miss the most obvious block charges in the world. When a player looks like they are doing something stupid they get called, if you are watching the defense and the offensive player makes a move, if it in'st a play that really looks bad, you might miss a travel.
Me I'd rather miss a few travels in a game than the illegal picks, and charges/blocks, etc that will really cause the problems in the end.
2) The travel rule in the NBA is different
3) If you thought it was a travel but werent sure it, probably wasnt.
