Smile Call it when it is!

My pet peaves are two fold. First, it is very important for all officials to call traveling when it is traveling. When people call traveling when it is not traveling, double dribble when it is not double dribble or legal or illegal jump stops when they are not legal or illegal, over and back calls that are not over and back it really leads to confusion on the part of the coaches, players and fans. My second pet peave is the irony of the situation that for many players, coaches and fans the more of this picky stuff you call the better ofiicial they think that you are. Many people still have not brought their knowledge and interpetation of the game and the intent of the rules into the new millenium and only remember how the game was called in the good old days when a three second call was an important part of the game or the nickel dime traveling was a call that just had to be made.
