Traveling philosophies....

Also known as Larry Bird's step-back and shoot move over the 3-point line without dribbling.....

Often emulated to this day.

In one game last year, I called the replant travel, and not 2 minutes later, at the other end, a shooter did a perfect jump stop on the catch (caught in the air, jumped off one foot and landed perfectly on both) before shooting. I let it go, and the first coach went ballistic for a moment. I wasn't in a position to discuss it with him, but it seemed to be forgotten about pretty quickly.

Often we make calls/no calls based on advantange/disadvantage.

Are these two situations under the same umbrella?

I would say that a replant often does cause an advantage more times than not. There are times where there is no advantage. By rule, still a travel.

The no control fumble probably is not a play where advantage is gained as much, although it can occur. By rule, not a travel.

Good topic to bring up in my opinion. Tends to be very subjective.
