I used to think that was a travel as well about 4 or 5 years ago.

I was wrong, you understood him correctly.
It's possible, just not likely that I'm going to rule it a travel.
Consider this: A1 gathers and rises to shoot. On his way up, B1 swipes and brushes the ball; but has no effect on it or the shooter.
A1 continues to rise with his jump and gets the ball into shooting position as B2 rises into position to block the shot. A1 gets flustered and forgets to release the ball due to B2's presence.
Your call?
