What is the wording in other rules sets that makes this legal? (I'm not doubting you; I'm just curious)

FIBA adopted the NBA "zero step" to allow these sorts of plays and rip and goes in transition.

Basically if you are ending your dribble or moving into a catch: The first step or foot on floor as you've caught/or gathered doesn't count as a step. Once you have 1 foot down and have caught the regular travel rules/ footwork as we would understand them come into play. next foot down is pivot foot etc.

For the record I prefer the NFHS/NCAA interpretation and just wish people would call the footwork, instead of letting pro footwork or lack there of become the norm and then adjusting the rule set accordingly.

Funny I like the new rule. This year, I felt I refereed travels more by the letter of the law (granted it's a new letter of the law) and thus I wasn't picking and choosing which travels to ignore.

Interesting. I found it much more difficult to be consistent on travel calls this year as result of the rule change and felt as a result me and crews we were a part of were calling less and then when looking at film later felt like I/we had missed some.
