I love those times when a fan or coach yells something like this for a violation or non-violation. I had one on Monday. Player dives to get a loose ball, grabs it and continues to slide while trying to pass the ball. Opposing team's coach is yelling "TRAVEL!!!". *sighs* I love it when a coach or fan thinks they know the rules and we don't.
