I had a game last week where I judged it a travel as I felt the defender did not hinder an attempted shot. And then tonight I had one I called a held ball. Just because a hand touches the ball does not automatically make it a held ball. It has to hinder a shot from being released. A touch of the ball does not fit that definition in some cases.
As others are saying, trust your judgment. You can tell the difference when it has definitely been hindered.
