Here's one way to think about it:

For HS games, I'm looking for a reason NOT to call traveling. The toe barely slid, the shot was released at the same instant the pivot returned to the floor, etc. The default call is a travel unless I can find such a reason, and my main goal is to enforce the traveling rule properly.

For MS games, I'm looking for a reason TO call traveling. The player picked up the dribble and took 3 steps, the foot slid 5 inches, etc. I'm going to ignore it unless I absolutely can't. The default call here is no travel unless the violation is gross, and my main goal is to help the game flow.
