But sometimes I see that but then refs are too eager to call a travel soon after. Maybe they did miss a travel the first time. I don't know. But they get it in their heads to watch for a travel and when you start watching things that coaches want you to notice you start to see violations that aren't there.
Too often I see travels called after coaches start yelping about it and too often players make good moves and travels are called. Especially on pump/head fakes one way then a move to the other. I know they can be tough to call at times, we all make mistakes with those calls, but just be mindful on how they are called.
Yes, I'm guilty of it. I call a travel on the coach's team
