Some simple things:
If they lift their pivot foot before dribbling = travel
If they change their pivot foot = travel
If they lift their pivot foot and pass/shoot before putting it down = Fine
If they leave the floor holding ball and come back down with it =Love of gawd call something.
IMO: I try to avoid calling "it looked funny". If after the fact I realise it was a travel, they got away with one. If I don't see the traveling footwork I don't call it.
