As an umpire for 25-plus years (and occasional basketball referee), you made the perfect call. When making the traveling call in youth sports, consistency should (most of the time) keep most of the loud-mouth spectators quiet for a while. The athleticism in the NBA is superb but, like Dan P. said, the traveling makes most games unwatchable.

You wanna take on NFL games as ref? I'd watch just to see you....
Traveling is anything more than one step. The NBA is unwatchable because they don't toe the line on this rule and many others for that matter.
I'm still a fan, of the NBA, but I must say that the palming of the ball while dribbling is a huge peeve of mine.
