What has worked really well for me this off-season regarding coaches yelling travel is:

Okay coach, which foot was the pivot?

When they get that confused look on their face, I say in order to properly rule on a travel, one has to know which foot was the pivot.
They either: (a) still look confused (b) can't identify the pivot (c) get their wittle feelings hurt.

The end result is that they stop yelling travel & go to 3 seconds or the cry for a non-contact moving screen
