It all depends on what his feet are doing when he does this. If he lifts the pivot foot and then does the 'power dribble' it is a travel. If not, then it is a legal move. I'm kind of old school about this move however and if I were a coach I wouldn't teach it. During my playing days, I was taught to never put the ball on the floor in the low post. Keep the ball high. A lot of times you'll see players do that and it gives the defense a chance to make a play on the ball. Other times you'll see the post player get fouled on the play but no foul is called. The reason is that it is considered a 'bail out' call. You are bailing the post player after he did something dumb.
