Call the foul late. You are only making things worse by no calling the travel. I learned this the hard way when I was younger and thought this logic made sense too. It doesn't

Clearly an advantage was gained. Even if you had originally decided to pass on the foul, now you HAVE to call it because the alternatives (call the travel or don't call the travel) are just not viable.

+1 to the entire thing. I too have done the "passed on the foul, have to pass on the violation" thing earlier in my career. All that happens is that you end up with TWO teams coaches and fans thinking you're an idiot on that call instead of only ONE teams coaches and fans thinking it.

Cause and effect?

One of our Trainers has a saying:

Never let a missed foul cause a violation, and never let a missed violation cause a foul.
