I come out with player control. B1 on the ground ( actually head bleeding where the tooth of A1 caught him in the forehead). As coach and trainer are coming on the floor my partner comes up to me and says "You know you can just as easily come out of there with a walk and no foul has to be given." I simply said, it was a foul. He then went on to explain that if you call a walk in that situation really neither coach says much because you can't really tell because it happens so fast.

You are right...I could call a travel...but he didn't travel. I will go with the foul. Thanks for offering information. The travel call here is just any easy way out of not making a tough call, and both coaches aren't always happy with the travel call.

That is basically what I told him, he didn't travel.
