If you're holding the ball when you "take off jumping off of both feet," that's traveling when you return to the floor. You can't jump off both feet while holding the ball and return to the floor. No rule in basketball allows you to do that.

The travel call attempts are not directed towards the step and stop...only with the height and distance of the jump from point "A" to point "B" before jumping up at point "B" to shoot/pass.

How high or far you jump has absolutely nothing to do with traveling.

Incidentally I get alot of travel call attempts when driving to the basket...not because I do(I know how to count to 2 - even on the move) but because defenders have a hard time understanding how I went from the free throw line to the basket for a lay up with only two steps. Im 6'3 with long strides and I can jump fairly well...combine that with being able to palm the ball...and holding the ball at the outstretch of my arms...and Im right at the basket . I love playing pick up games but sometimes a ref would come in handy heh .

Are you saying that this is happening in pickup games and the opponents are calling you for traveling? Sorry partner but I can't do anything about that. When you start having an official calling traveling on you and you want to understand the call, post again. We can't tell you anything with regards to why opponents are calling you for traveling.
