He told me I was wrong and that is the proper call - a travel. Is this even close to being correct?

Isn't this just a violation and point to the spot? You should never call this a travel, correct?
Used to be a travel violation. Now, it's a throw-in violation. No real signal for this, I would just blow my whistle and point in the opposite direction to signal throw-in for opposite team. If any asks, then say "throw-in violation, moved outside 3-feet area".
