Some folks just have more trouble than others seeing travel.

I understand the rule. It just seems that most of the players pick up the dribble with one foot on the floor, jump stop, and then pivot. THAT is a travel and it is rarely, if ever, called at the NCAA level, and sparingly at the HS level. Just like picking up with a foot on the floor and landing with one foot and then the other. That's a travel, but is rarely called.

I hear what you are saying. As I said, some folks just don't see travel well…and frankly, some folks don't think it is an important call. When you also see NCAA say give benefit of the doubt to dribbler people lay off. I can tell you this..it doesn't help the game for me to be the only one calling travel. right, wrong etc I have to lay off at times. If team A does it in front of you and you have nothing and team B does it in front of me and I call travel it's a problem.

I honestly don't see it that often, but I call it when I do.

Don't see many players end dribble with one foot on ground and then go in the air jump stop (both feet landing at same time).

Majority of the time when they end the dribble and one foot is on ground that player comes down one-two which would also be a travel because pivot foot returned to the floor.
