If I understand your narrative, you didn't quite call the play correctly, but you were close. Let me take your scenario, remove the parts that don't matter, and comment:

Quote:
The guy gathered the ball with his right foot down. He then stepped onto his left foot ...
OK, so now the right foot is the pivot foot.

Quote:
...the shooter pulled his right foot up
Still legal...the pivot foot is lifted.

Quote:
to meet his left and just stood there
As soon as the right foot touches the court again, we have a travel.

Quote:
while the defender passed.
And here's the small error---you don't wait for the defender to pass. This is a travel as soon as the right foot retouches the floor.
