I would rather miss plays like this where I have to see slow motion replay than call one that clearly did not happen. I want to get the obvious ones. It is that simple and that is the line. And that does not apply to just traveling either. Fouls, carry, back court, 10 second and lane violations. I want everyone to basically say, "Yeah, he traveled."
