Traveling was the right call.

NCAA rule 4-66-2-- "A player who catches the ball with both feet on the playing court may pivot, using either foot. when one foot is lifted, the other foot is the pivot foot".

NCAA rule 4-66-4(a)-- "After coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot, the pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the playing court, before the ball is released on a pass or a try for goal".

Your player caught the ball with both feet on the floor. When he jumped, one foot had to be lifted and the other foot must have become the pivot foot. When he then landed on both feet, you has a player who jumped off his pivot foot and then landed with the ball without passing or shooting.

That's a travel.
