Would you make the call just saying
"I'm sure he moved both feet, or would you have to know every little detail? He shuffled the left foot, etc.

If you know the ball handler moved both feet and one was the pivot foot, then you have a travel. Why is that hard to come to a conclusion? Understand that the official might not have been so clear that saw the play live.
