This is why I don't usually post on travel rules, and interpretations. I would rather see it, and then make the call. Don't hold your breath until my next travel post. You'll be long dead, unless you're on a respirator.
No, the player picks the ball up with one foot on the floor then jumps off that foot, landing on both simultaneously.

Good clarification.
