A very poor outlook in my opinion and a cop out for some officials' failure or refusal to call it. Traveling is just another call that needs to be called. That kind of mindset puts the wrong team at a disadvantage. It is tremendously difficult to legally guard players who are allowed to travel without a whistle. How many times is there a foul on the defense after officials fail to call traveling?
Again I quote Verne's boss:
4. I'm not sure what our problem with traveling is. I believe most Division I referees can recite the rule and understand it so I am left with the assumption that they don't get in good position to see the whole play start, develop, and finish.
