The occurrence of the following are all easy to determine....

• OOB
• Any count
• thrower stepped inbounds
• FT didn't hit the rim
• player in the lane before the ball hit
• double (illegal) dribble
• kick
• backcourt
• GT/BI

These are easy to determine due to their black/white nature or their rather uncomplicated combination of factors to consider when it may occur. Of course, the backcourt rule is complicated but it is easy to call once you understand the rule.

Traveling, on the other hand, requires several elements to all align to call correctly....holding the ball relative to the release on a dribble/pass or the catch from dribble/pass relative to the foot movement (some of which is legal and some isn't).

Many thanks!!!
