This is just not true. The rule is the same whether coming off a dribble or catching a pass. I think we need to know that it's actually a travel before addressing why it's not being called. Based on what's been described, I question the rules knowledge of those who are saying it's a travel they just don't have the guts to call.

What exactly does this move entail and why is it a travel?
