I'm convinced that we all struggle with travel calls and face a decision about whether to put in extra work, like you are doing, so that we can make the call with confidence - or, we just decide to "avoid missing a call" by calling what "looks obvious", as in 'obviously odd'. Tape a game and review the calls you question.

Good point. Just because it looks odd doesn't mean that it is a travel. If it does look weird and you can't decide leave it alone! I think we at the high school level call too many walks that aren't there. We do exactly what jkjenning said. We think if it looks odd we should call it, which is totally what we shouldn't do.
