Is it still a travel if A1 gains control of the ball on one foot, jumps to one foot but releases the ball on a pass or shot before the other foot lands? I had posted a situation similar to this on another board last year. A1 gains control of a loose ball while on one foot, then hops and lands on the same foot. Most of the responses indicated this was a travel. Situation #14 seems to be almost the same. Does it matter if control is gained on one foot and the "hop" is landed on the same foot or with the alternate foot?

If a player hops and lands on the same foot, the pivot foot has
moved (in excess of prescribed limits) -- that's traveling.
If a player hops and lands on a different foot -- the pivot foot has been
lifted. The player is restricted in what he/she can do, but it's not a violation (yet).
