Traveling Rules Simplified

Sorry, pet peeve of mine.

I really disagree with this. I think coaches try certain officials to see if they can get away with stuff or see how you will react. Once coaches realize that you are not a push over, they will adjust if they know better.

You're not getting my point. Coaches will adjust to officials who won't put up with garbage from them. But, when they get officials who let them scream in their ear and make statements and not ask questions, they walk all over them. Consequently, they like those officials working their games because they know they can get away with anything they want without the said official doing anything about it.

You are right, I did miss the point. Because I really do not see what calling traveling in itself has to do with coach's complaining? I really think traveling is called because it is not easy to always call and people call things because it looks funny. I really do not think it is much more complicated than that. I see obvious travels called and obvious travels missed. I do not think it has much to do with what coaches or fans say at all. It comes down to the ability of the officials to have judgment just like most fouls that are called in a game.

I do not remember. That has been a long time ago.
