If you are in a game with the big guys (NBA and D-1 type players) There may be a lot more things going on to watch than the guys feet. If you are truly refereeing the defense, the ball handler may be secondary especially in a game with screens, rolls, etc. The offenders feet are the last place I may be looking when reffing fast big guys going at each other.

C'mon Kelvin, this aint all that hard to figure out, we non-big timers do this all the time.

If the matchup is in your primary referee the defense, look for body contact, etc.

If you're outside you watch for the pivot foot.

But Scrappy already told us he will not come in with a travel call if it's not in his primary. So he's saying the primary has to do all the work which we agree means the travels get overlooked.

QED.
