At a certain point I started to ask myself -- is it them that is wrong or me?

Brad,

I have done the same thing for calls that get passed on. But what I'm talking about here is officials who call something that isn't there. I was just wondering if they don't know the rule or if they are making the "popular call."

As you well know, moving the feet without control of the ball just is not a travel just like a high dribble isn't palming. Calling it a travel at the highest levels just propagates the myth and makes it harder for officials who call it right.
