Fun With Taking The Train …

Is this correctly ruled a traveling violation? Observe the play and make a judgment on the traveling violation. The offensive player receives the ball near the foul line (does he travel?) and then he drives toward the basket (does he travel after ending his dribble)?

Four choices: The traveling violation occurred in the free throw semi-circle. The traveling violation occurred when the player ended his dribble. The offensive player traveled twice on this play. There is no traveling violation on this play.

My comment: The offensive player traveled twice on this play. To start a dribble, the ball must be released before the pivot foot is lifted. On a pass, or a shot, the pivot foot may be lifted, but may not return to the floor before the ball is released.

Thoughts?
