Basket interference/goaltending is the most difficult because we don’t have the proper viewpoint from which to judge this action. We need to be up high, but are on the floor with the players.

Traveling would be my #2 because of how quick the feet move and the need to also see where the ball is at particular moments. Note that we often get screened from viewing the ball by a player’s body—offense or defense.
