The gallop I'm refering to is when a player dribble drives to the hoop, picks up the dribble, and then, takes his/her two steps, but the two steps are very close together, one right after the other, both feet then leave the court, a gallop....

Hmmm, yeah, maybe, but a lot of times you'll see the
jump stop end with the feet apart and the player sorta
"rolls" into the move to the basket, which is what I think
you're saying. Not a distinct 2 steps which you can hear.
Like most guys have already said, give the benefit of the doubt on travels.
