Agreed. But as you say unless everyone wants to call it that way then you aren't going to be the guy stuck doing jv girls games every Friday night because no one wants to work with/assign games to the guy who calls 40 travels when everyone else is calling 2.

There is also some concern always expressed about if it is a travel 9 out of 10 times, they would rather no call it 10 times then call it wrong once.

I see it the the other way that if I'm no calling it I am getting 9 wrong. I would rather get 1 wrong than 9 wrong. But my wife would tell me that just because I see it that way doesn't make it right (in fact her stance is that it generally means I'm wrong - who knew there was a correct way to put milk containers back in the fridge)
