If you determined the Pivot foot is established at the time he leaps; then the "tap, tap" would be traveling if the ball is not released before the pivot foot goes "tap". IMO you must take into account the level of play you are calling. I recommend watching the players during warmups to see if they make this same move. If most of them are, you may have a long night of travels and groans if you call it.
