The difference is whether the ballhandler is moving, such as on a lay-up, or if she (4-44-3) "comes to a stop and establishes a pivot foot" and then, ..."jumps (leaves the floor with both feet, whether jumping off one or both feet). If she does jump, then (4-44-3-b.)"neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal."
As mentioned earlier, in real time, this move is many times not called as a travel violation, even though a clean, (legal) drop-step move involves the non-pivot foot being in touch with the floor before the pivot foot is lifted, or in other words, the legal move does not involve a jump to the non-pivot foot, before the ball is released.
