In college, there's a case play that says benefit of doubt in ending the dribble goes to the player. I would not call this travel in a college game. I know if I did I'd be the only one calling it. It doesn't do the game any good if only one guy is calling it. It's close so allow it. In college it is becoming accepted to the point that each side believes its legal. There's no issues from allowing it at that level. Only when its called on one end and not the other do problems arise.
In a high school game id have to see what else was called. When its this close and smooth i'm apt to allow it.

Bingo. Even at the HS level, if both teams expect it to be legal when they have the ball, why blow the whistle?
