Hey Bull Ref Run,
Your scenario in the last posting would also be travelling. Your scenario is usually called by most officials as travelling ie. landing on both feet, moving one foot to establish a pivot and then moving the pivot. The case that involves landing on one foot (the pivot), stepping with the other, and then stepping with the pivot (to get outside the 3point line) is often let go.
Harper - Note: my scenario does not involve actually taking a shot, just threatening to take a shot. The whole idea (and you can check it out in the upcoming Final Four games) is that the person changes their pivot feet to gain an advantage further from the basket, often outside the 3point line. Oh, I have refereed FIBA for a couple of years out of Calgary and this same violation happens regularly.
Cheers!
