Tue night, 4-A (highest state level) varsity game. 2nd quarter, I'm trail and see slight contact up high as the quard begins to penetrate. I note the slight contact and pass on it as the guard looks to be playing through it and looks to be creating a good scoring opportunity, when suddenly it is evident the contact has now caused him to travel. At that time we have a double whistle with my partner quickly signaling a travel violation and me with my fist in the air for the foul which created it. I close to confer with my partner who listens and says he thinks we should go with the travel since he "sold" it and no one (coaches, players or fans) seem to be complaining. I repeat the foul caused the travel violation and the best call is the right call. My partner doesn't budge from his position (he's the R) and I make the decision to let him resignal the travel call. How would you have handled it? Could I, should I have done something different?
