I'd like to add one more: the player attempting to receive a pass on the run but juggling the ball in an attempt to gain control called a travel. In the consolation game yesterday, I saw one of those three-step layups where the player didn't get control until just before she shot it. It was called a travel, and I suppose the official could defend the call by deeming the juggling a controlling of the ball, but that would not be accurate.

Yeah, coach, but the other side also comes in. Tournament games last Friday. Several cases, where a player doesn't cleanly catch the pass, juggles, then either catches and starts a dribble or catches and shoots the ball. Coach is screaming for a travel every time.
On the way by I said "Gotta have control to be a travel" and he looks at me like I'm nuts
After the game, he says that he was told by some very experienced officials that this is always a travel.
I said "Not according to the rule book"
