In theory that sounds great. Calling traveling violations is such a subjective thing to see and has a lot of judgment to it. There are many more traveling possibilities than there are with most fouls. Every time someone starts or ends a dribble and every time a player gets control of the ball there are possibilities of a violation. Not the same thing with other fouls or even violations.

Of course they don't say that to other officials - they would lose all credibility. I am not talking about camps. I am talking about the season. How many camp instructors actually do on the floor what they say at camp? I had one instructor tell me I should have called a tech on a player during a camp game. Same official went over 3 years without calling one and I saw plenty of situations that needed a tech called, including a game I worked with him.
Also, I've had plenty of instructors say, "Don't watch me to know what to do. Do as I say not as I do."
