Male, 60
For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
Yes because by your scenario A's dribble never ended.

Big mistake by the officials. The referee is supposed to check with the scorer before leaving the court at the end of the game. I am not sure what the remedy would be, because of conflicting principles : the game official score is the book maintained by the score keeper, the game is official when the referrees leave the confines of the court, and finally, most states do not have provisions for protesting the outcomes of gamed. For sure, the referee should be punished.

If you establish your left foot as a pivot, the move to your right foot and lift your left to this point you are ok. But as soon as your left touches the floor it is travelling. Dragging your pivot foot is like touching the floor again, and so it is travelling.

Assuming it is not considered taunting, play on.

During a dribble you cannot travel. Once you pick up your dribble, one or both feet become your pivot foot. You can step with your non pivot foot and then lift your pivot but it is travelling if you put your pivot foot down again or if you move your non pivot foot. So, if you end your dribble or just catch the ball, then shuffle your feet it is travelling. Shuffling your feet is a bad habit that can only result in travelling.
Share Answer: 
It depends on the severity and the official's philosophy. If the ref is using Advantage Disadvantage and the foul is not severe, and immaterial to the play, he would pass and no call. If the official does not subscribe to advantage disadvantage, then he would call a foul regardless of severity and impact.

In NFHS rules there is a designated function/person called home administration. The referee should walk away from the fan, and go to the home administrator and demand that the administrator ejects that fan from the gym. The administrators always comply because the ref should refuse to continue until the fan leaves the gym.
