I really wish officials would stop "splitting hairs" when calling travel violations. If you have to turn the video of a traveling call into the "Zapruder Film" to explain or see a travel....then it shouldn't have been called!

It should simply be: it's either 100% /obvious travel...or it's NOTHING!...NOT: it looked funny/I THINK he travelled, so I'm going to call it.

It just may be that some people are more capable of seeing it than others and it really isn't close to them. For those, should they ignore an obvious infraction that some others are just not capable of seeing? How far to we go with that? Do we just not call travels unless they move the foot at least 10'?

Just because you can't reliably tell when it is a travel doesn't change what it was.
