Get a suitcase when you travel

[Duffman]

This was also my biggest problem as an official. Sitting in the stands or lying on the couch I could spot a travel with ease. When you get on the court, and everything happens right in front of you it's actually more difficult to some degree.

The biggest thing for me was to start officiating from the ground up. The first thing I do when someone receives a pass is to ID the pivot foot (feet). Once you have that as others have said officiating the travel becomes less and less a conscious effort, and more of an instant reaction when it happens.

Work from the ground up EVERY time and you will become a much better traveling official.
