Oh,my! Another one making up his own rules and interpretations.

I've had more than just one tell me this.
Well, I actually believe that one foot will hit before the other. So, scientifically and technically, these officials are correct.

However, basketball is not a science. For that provision to be in the prescribed allowable foot movements implies that some sort of stop of this nature is intended to be permitted.
