I think that this is very true. I'm kinda in between on this issue. I think that it is okay to call a travel without being able to demonstrate what the offender did. (you see, coach, he moved his left foot 4" and then he moved his right foot at least 6") A lot of times this is really a bang-bang play, when a player explodes with a quick first step. If his feet were both a blur to you before he put the ball on the floor, chances are it was a travel, but if his feet are that quick, chances are his hands are quick, too, so if you have
"reasonable doubt," let it go.
