2. A1 then hops on both feet (moving them forward from "point A" to "point A + 1)"----this is the small 'hop' I referred to initially. No dribble is done.

3. A1 then lands on both feet @ point A+1--after the small hop, then bends knees and winds up elbows in preparation for release of shot (though the feetwork is what I'm focusing on here, OK). No dribble is done.

4. A1 then jumps and releases the ball for a try (jump-shot).

hop = physically and momentarily leaves the floor for those few milliseconds--no toes touching at all.

I have observed that this action is always called a "travel" in boys/men---yet very very seldom called a "travel" in girls games. This was the key issue I requested help for. Is this a bona fide travel or no?
All you need is 2 and 3. The rest is irrelevan, especially your reference to a dribble. Just too many red herrings in your story. This is a travel, but there could be a number of reasons it's not called. Might be the catch is too close to the jump it's too difficult to tell. Might be officials are being told through evaluations not to call it. Might be they don't want to make girls cry.

I know I call it when I see it.
