Since we got off the original subject of kicking the ball, I would also like to add the inconsistency of a few officials I've observed who call traveling on players sliding across the floor with the ball but don't roll over from their back to stomach or vise versa. Sometimes I think the officials might react to calling a violation because the people in the stands and coaches don't know the rule and think it is traveling. Of course, I think this is how officials learn the game better themselves by seeing these plays and having them happen to them. I know I have. Hopefully they won't call them too often.
