That was a travel. The only explanation is that the official was looking through is back or felt the ball was blocked. But that did not happen and this was a big miss.

Here's the play...

NFHS: Travel. The pivot foot is lifted and returned to the floor before the ball is released for a shot or a pass.

I've watched it a few times and can't clearly tell but it kind of looks as if he bounces it off the defenders right shoulder. That then would negate the travel right?

No it would not. The fact he lifted a pivot foot to start a dribble is the violation. The ball hitting the floor is not a factor.

Yes it would negate the travel. Throwing the ball off of the other players shoulder allows him to go get it, start another dribble etc.

In the video the player jumps to shoot and simply drops the ball. At this moment there is nothing to call. When he catches it first the drop is considered a dribble. Illegal to start a dribble with pivot foot in air.

Or was it? So many quick to jump and call this a travel but officials at this level are far more disciplined then to call a travel just because it looked like one.

1) There's no definite knowledge he left the floor before releasing the ball. Sure, it really looks like it, but there is no way to be 100%. Just because you think there is a travel doesn't mean there is one.

2) If the player has any sort of basketball IQ he's trying to throw it off the defender before touching it again. This could've easily happened and we missed it from this angle, just like my first point.

I'm never telling this official he missed a call here. Interesting enough play I may ask him about it after the game, but only because I had a bad view and curious about what happened.

#11 definitely traveled by not pushing the ball to the floor to begin his dribble before lifting his pivot foot.
