The problem is when we do call what everybody sees at higher levels, but it doesn't get called there.

I had this year I had a situation where a certain player would do the same move every single time. I called like 5 travels on him

I've done this. It makes me feel bad for the kid. He didn't just learn that move tonight. He obviously been allowed to make the move without a call other places.

I honestly do not know many officials that justify travels or not calling travels they call related to what happens at the other level.

And no I do not think what we called had anything to do with what he had been allowed to do. I think he just lost his fundamentals and did not learn after the first call. He somehow learned the next time. Players make mistakes, not everything they do has to do with us and what we call. And it certainly is not always about what others call at a level that everyone does not watch as closely as others.
