my point was not to intentionally pass on a travel deemed "marginal." If I see a travel, I'm calling it. But if I am not certain, I'm not calling it. There are no percentages. In my judgment, it is either a travel or it is legal. That's as simple as it is during the game.
When I grade my film, it is a missed call either way. But it is easier to explain a missed travel than calling something that isnt there. This also makes it easier to improve... Perhaps my positioning was poor or I had a bad angle. I can work on these things to get better at picking travels up.
But if I am calling travels that aren't there, I'm guessing and making stuff up. Credibility goes down quickly when you guess.
