I know it was discussed at the NCAAW preseason meeting in Philly by one of the presenters some time within the last decade. I wish I'd been in the habit of saving the videos at the time. I specifically remember the presenter saying officials should try to avoid calling that move a travel. Of course, the presentations at the main meeting are made to primarily D1s. Folks like me weren't told anything one way or another during our league-specific meetings. Right now, the general message at all levels appears to be call what happens.
As for the HS level, the message I've received is the same: If they travel, get it. Just make sure you get the pivot foot and call it properly. An observer I had within the last few years told a group of us it's less likely a HS player will perform the move legally simply because they're not as skilled.
