Possibly? Yes.

It's not necessary to lift the pivot foot. He also possibly could have slid his pivot toe slightly backward (also a travel).

Depending on what I actually see, I'm probably not making this travel call in a real game, in real time.

I made my ruling based on what was offered to me, a video that I could look at multiple times, slowing it down, an even stopping it.

Real game, real time, isn't the same. This move doesn't even get a rise out of the opposing coaches and players, who had a perfect look.

Does IAABO want us to "Make The Call" based on a single nearly realistic real game, real time video, as if we were actually officiating the game, or based on breaking down the video to test our rule language knowledge?

My guess, the later, since they offer multiple views at multiple speeds, something not assessable to an official in a bang bang real game situation.
