You are missing the most important part of the rule, and the only exception that allows this movement to remain legal.

Where would the other foot be? In the air?

What other foot would you be referring to? The point is that the person must go to a knee, and stand again without moving the pivot foot in order to remain legal. Since either foot, the one on the leg with the knee touching the ground, or the one on the other leg can be the pivot foot, your comment, as usual, makes no sense. Your previous statement that a person to go to one knee and then stand and still not be called for a traveling violation is only accurate with the qualifier that the pivot foot not move.

And for the record, it would be possible, by rule to legally do this with one foot in the air.

They can also gain possession with a knee down, so it isn't exclusive to going to a knee with the ball then getting up. These 2 differences are different than HS and in the play in mention its difficult to see in real time if all those conditions were or weren't met and so making a travel call in most cases would have been a guess.

I had a similar play this year in a JUCO game and called a travel. At half time one of my partners who has about 50+ years experience said something similar. It's a hair I have learned to not split.
