She probably said "that's the Euro Step..." If done correctly it is not a travel.
Instead of the quick "step-step-release" after the gather the first step is long and slow in one direction then the second step is enlongated in the opposite direction from which A1 takes off. Usually done when the defender is directly between A1 and the basket. The goal is to get the defender leaning one direction and then A1 comes back the other direction.
Can't be done at full speed so it looks awkward because of how slow the move is. Is used a lot around here.
