Question Should the travel rule be overhauled/rewritten?

Basically, do those in charge want to allow "two steps" on drives to the hoop?

Because if they don't, we as officials (at every level) need to reevaluate how we call the game. Spin moves on the gather, drives to the basket, "Euro-steps", etc....are travels almost every time, and they're called approximately never. And when they are called, even when accurate, are met with disdain from players, coaches, announcers, etc...because traveling is so rarely enforced as written.

I have no problem if the rule is changed to match the NBA wording, and including the phrase "two steps" on drives to the basket (or something of that nature), because it looks good/natural, doesn't effect play and is essentially being called this way anyway.

Are you guys OK with simply continuing to ignore the rule and just adapting how the game is called?
