I give up . . .
What is the difference between the Euro and the American rule? We don't allow the pivot foot to be lifted before the dribble. Our officials may enforce differently, because the philosophy is if you are not certain it is a travel, it is not a travel. Am I missing some rule difference here - I am not an international rules expert.
Also, this is not about refs being perfect. Players, coaches, and refs all make errors. The higher you get, the less acceptable those mistakes are, for any participant and their role in the game. serious refs, and we have many here, work on their game so that they can make these calls right most of the time. In my experience here, fast players get away with more travels because it happens too quick to see, while really slow moves may result in erroneous travel calls because they end up looking sloppier, and therefore wrong (even if they aren't).
