I think a similar thing occurs when a player comes flying in from the outside for a rebound and grabs the ball while he's still in the air. He often lands on Foot A, then B, then steps with foot A. Also a travel.

Because Foot A is the established pivot foot?
Coincidentally, that very thing occurred in the UM-MSU game. It happened very quickly so I had to rewind my TiVo to see why it was called. Coach Izzo objected, but I thought it was a great call.

Yes. When a player gains possession of the ball while in the air and does not land on both feet simultaneously, then the first foot down is considered to be the pivot foot.
