im sorry but i want to be the best at every call, but traveling is a very hard call to make especially when you have supreme athletes to referee.
the basic principle should be as with refereeing every basketball play, "when you're certain, blow the whistle and dont guess and if you're unsure but if you think it was a travel don't call it.
Also just wanted to add and point out that when players "stop too fast" as RSL alluded too, it is very often that the dribbler "double taps" his non pivot foot which alot of referees mistake for a travel. i have seen that happen more than a drag of the actual pivot foot. my personal observation.
