You're exactly right! At this level many of it participants do not understand the rules & it is not our jobs to teach them the rules. I've learned that putting air in the whistle is better than s l o w i n g the game down to talk to kids on basic plays. IMO, there was nothing non-basketball about this play & doesn't require an official to discuss anything with the kids.
We cannot make sure things are "clean" & we are not required to keep the kids "focused" on anything. We penalize illegal acts AFTER they occur...

If questioned I would readily admit that it was suppose to be my call and I missed it.

I understand not guessing based on how a travel looks but using clues to make a decision when we cant see obvious fouls is not a bad thing.
I think we all have that little voice inside of us...

Again, I didnt see anything non-basketball.
