I think the goal for most experienced officials are to call the obvious, not to call the minor violation. I would agree that technically there are violations missed, but not necessarily missed violations. Also traveling is the most inconsistent call in the game of basketball IMO. There are always plays that I think to my self, "Did that just happen?" I do not want to call those kinds of violations on the regular basis, I wan to call the "OMG....he traveled" violations. I know other officials that feel the same way as I do. And there are others that focus so much on calling everything they see, they call things that technically did not take place. After all this is where judgment comes into play. Not everyone has the same judgment.

Peace
