All of these traveling videos make me think about a question that is on my association's website.

What is the most difficult call to get right:

Block/Charge
Traveling
Handcheck
Goaltend
Technical
Out of Bounds

I think the answer is traveling by a landside. Particularly at higher levels where guys are so fast, athletic, and very skilled in terms of when they gather the ball and subsequent moves.

Add in that you often have to adjust your sight level to pick up the pivot foot and IMO it is the most difficult call in basketball to get consistently right. There is often room for debate even after watching on replay and in slow motion several times.

Play #1 is ignored almost all the time at almost all levels, and rightfully so IMO. Play #2 is a travel that they should get.
