It could also be the fact that he caught the ball on his left foot, stepped with the right, then stepped with the left again before releasing the shot....being fouled doesn't give the player a free pass on a travel.
That's what I was thinking, that the foul occurred during the attempt, but then the shooter traveled, before he released the ball.
