You did not mention when the right foot was lifted from the floor after he took a step with the left foot.
If the right (pivot) foot was lifted *before* the ball was released on the dribble, it is a travel.
If the right (pivot) foot was not lifted before the ball was released on the dribble, it is a not travel.
(Not sure if you're a referee or not. If you, then you should know to include all crucial information!)

Used to officiate - quit due to time constraints just as I was beginning to get serious with it. I still lend my time to the local Upward (1st - 6th grade) basketball program.
Thanks for the correction. You spurred my to re-read the jumpstop rule (NCAA). I was incorrectly thinking there was some crazy jumpstop rule that gave him the extra step.
