I do it.

Example: B scores, then drops back to A's frontcourt. A1 passes the ball in to A2 at about the FT line. A2 catches the ball, facing B's basket with his/her right foot on the floor. Then, all in one move puts left foot down, lifts right foot, pivots on left foot (to face about the sideline), pushes ball to floor to start dribble up court.

Technically: Travel.

Called: Almost never.

Now, if A2 pivoted completely arouond and put the right foot back on the floor, it's called. Or, if the same move was at the other end, and A2 used it to drive to the basket, it's called.
