With a travel the kid may not even realize (s)he is doing it if they haven't been nailed for it. I dinged a kid on three straight trips in a game two years ago and he got ticked (he would catch the ball and do a three-step shuffle - without dribbling - to set himself before getting his shot off). The HC calmed him down and definitely wasn't upset with me. The HC eventually told me:
"Ref, you're absolutely right. Those were travels. He's just upset because (wait for it...) no one has called him for it this season."
The game was in January. That's our fault.
