The night before, I had two HS boys rec games and in the second one, we had zero travel calls! That's not a typo. I can't recall ever having a game at any level without a single travel call before that one.
Any of you guys ever have a game without a single call of a certain type of commonly called violation?

Most games only have one jump ball. If people follow your line of thinking, there's only one jump ball a game. What you meant is there were no held balls. 
I've had games where there were only one or two fouls in a half. Of course they make up for it in the next half.
