To be honest, that competely slipped my mind, but that is good to hear. When I replay the situation in my head, it was clearly a travel.

A mechanical mistake to be sure, but better to get the call right. A signal alone means nothing.
Thank you for that input, makes me feel a little better about what I did, minus the whole missing the 100% travel.

3. I don't care who the timer is, he's not going to ridicule me during the game. He would be replaced.
Again, on the basis of missing the clear travel call, thank you. (Thinking there was no travel to begin with) I am glad I would have done the right thing, just missed the mechanics.

3. The fact that it's gnawing at you is a good sign. Your desire to make the correct call is admirable. You'll get that play right next time.
4. As your confidence in your calls increase, you'll tell the coach to stuff it because a)he is biased because he's a coach and ...b) If he's at the table, he shouldn't be expressing his opinion.

Good luck the rest of the way.
Thanks, it was bothering me for a few days but I feel like if I were put in a similar situation, I will do a better job next time around.
