The other time it happens is when the ball is being dribbled in one official's area and then into another's and the dribble is picked up. Then they dribble again after the hold and official has forgotten about the original dribble.

Depends on the level I guess. I watched a lot of those Maui/Atlantis Division 1 mens tournaments this week and saw a lot of 'automatic' hand checking fouls go uncalled. However do I call them in my high school games without consideration of any advantage or disadvantage? You bet your ass.

I admit I am guilty of this. I, on a rare occasion, have lost track of a player already dribbling and allowed him/her to happen again. Should it happen? No. Does it? Yes, even the best of officials have brain farts every now and then. :p

If a player wiped both shoes, I'd probably not notice. I don't spend a lot of time staring at a player who's standing still with the ball.

If you did notice, would you call it? Has anyone ever called this or seen it called?

Becoming more aware of it now, does anyone plan on calling it if they see it?

I think I called it once. If not exactly this, it was something similar. The team slowed down the game a lot, whenever the defense was backed up in a zone, they would pull it out. The point guard had some kind of weird little habit, if it wasn't wiping the shoes it was something else that involved moving both feet. If memory serves, I called it at least once and saw him do it another time or two when watching this team as a spectator.

I had the exact play described in a summer travel youth league about 20 years ago. A1 picked up his foot wiped it clean, then picked up his pivot foot and wiped it clean. When his pivot foot returned to the ground, I called the travel. I called it then, and will call it exactly the same way the next time I see it.
