That's a bad rule, DC. Ask almost any assignor and they will tell you, don't guess. If you are not sure that it was a travel, then it wasn't. This will be particularly important as the players you officiate increase in skill level. Why? Because that move that you're sure an 8th-grader could never pull off is taught and practiced at the varsity level and is done legally in games.

Here's a better rule for you to follow: Identify the pivot foot on every possession.
