What you describe as a gallop is the dribbler ending the dribble, stepping and establishing a pivot, stepping with the non-pivot and lifting the pivot, jumping off the non-pivot. Legal play.
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. Technically, this is it, no more steps, either shoot or pass.
What you have described as a "gallop" is the same thing that I've described. However, what you've described as a "gallop plus" is different. I'm really not seeing that very often.
