Hop, Skip and Jump

I say travel, although its tough to call live action. His left foot hits on the leap over the fallen ODU player, then he lands on the left again before dropping the right. Only see that in slow-mo. But live action, I might've let that slide because of all the activity surrounding the play.

I am not exactly sure what happened even after I replayed it 20 times. (My media player has no slo-mo button)

I try to descibe what I think has happened in the clip on the B2 traveling part:


at the point the contact between B2 and W2 occurred, B2's left (back) foot bearly touch the floor, right foot in the air, dribbling hand (right hand) on the top portion of the ball. B2's right foot was blocked by W2's body, who was not in a normal floor postion.

then B2 leaped over W2, while in the air, B2 put both hands on the ball, then left foot landed, then right foot landed. after both feet landed, left foot was dragged a little bit on the floor.

If above was what really happened, the B2's travel violation is only because his pivot foot was dragged a little bit. His pivot foot was established after he leaped over W2, if above description of the events is true.

Am I right on this?

Thanks.
