True, but the high school coaches don't generally ask for it on a fumble. Not as often as AAU coaches, anyway.

I tune out off-season coaches so it sounds about the same. :)

Not that I get to this year because I have to do PT for 5-8 months. :(

It's a pet peeve of mine. When a player loses control while dribbling and the whole gym wants a travel because it just plain looks ugly. Its NOT travelling.
The thing is that too many officials see it as a travel and call it. When that call is made no one in the building says a word (except me in my head when my partner makes it) and you play on. But the call is incorrect and should it not be called a travel. Maybe an illegal dribble if the ball is touched with two hands and the dribble continues. You'd like to think that at the end of close/big game that the correct call will be made and NO travel called despite the opposing team/fans being incensed and going home thinking that the "refs" (its always both or all three refs they refer to) screwed them.
