Traveling
 
Reading the preseason Guide and trying to come up with rule based explanation:

A2 catches the ball and lands on 2 feet (either CAN be a pivot but NEITHER has been established) and then hops onto 2 feet. Travel

One of the feet has to be the pivot foot. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. 4-44

Yes once players lands on two they have not established a pivot foot yet, but one will be and one won't be. When both come off the floor again they must shoot/pass before landing.

In somewhat related news:

Ironically enough (maybe only I think its ironic) when a shooter catches the ball if they land on two and make a miniscule hop up and down before shooting that is travel. But if they catch and ball and land on one, they may take a hop of any size land on two and shoot it.

In barely related news:

With shooters I find the most common travel to be that extra hop to get rhythm. In drivers most common tends to be either a stride start (quick foot change on drive) or on open faced pivots not getting ball out of contact with their hand before pivot foot is lifted.

This is a pretty useful video, although there is one I'd disagree with. I won't say which, because I don't want to influence what you might see.
