I'm sure FED's policy is to call it when it's there.

It's easy to see when there's a video or three titled "look at the travels"; it's a lot harder during a game -- if you give the excuse "I missed the (elephant) foul because I was looking for the (potential / mouse) travel" you won't progress very far.

I don't see them as "get one or the other". The ones I call are HS level, slow, non-elegant, and obvious. I'd be happy if just those were called consistently. I don't see a sacrifice of an "elephant" foul happening for the sake of a sloppy spin...at least I haven't to this point.

Some calls are often about which took place first and why they took place. Sometimes travels happen because legal contact took place and the player just happened to lose their balance. Other times the contact happens because of the contact. And some travels happen right before contact. All judgment situations and all not as easy to see.

As stated, we were only looking for traveling on these videos, in a real game they happen and you have to get them. Not as easy to do.

Peace
