This is what he's saying:
If you catch the ball with your right foot on the floor (1 step), step with you left foot (2 steps), lift your right foot (half step) and release the ball, you have 2 1/2 steps.
While my description above is legal, there are other instances where it would not be legal. For example, if both feet on on the floor and you step once with each foot (2 steps), that's traveling.
