traveling?

[ctpfive]

One of the things an official had discussed on this forum was the fact that he/she tried to find the pivot foot everytime a player recieves a pass. That is hard to do. Since I have read that, I have been concentrating on quickly finding the pivot foot everytime a player receives the ball. I don't like being right in front of the players bench and have the coach yell traveling. Before I read the forum on finding the pivot foot, I honestly wasn't looking at the feet everytime and as far as I know the coach could have been right. Now I watch the feet and when a player picks up the pivot foot to start a dribble I call travel. However, this is missed quite often. As I watch other games, and pay particular attention to the feet,I see this is not being called. I start to second guess my traveling violations. Do other officials not know the fundamental here, or are they just not seeing it!? Or is there something I am not seeing?
