A dribble is started by pushing, throwing or batting the ball to the floor. There is no requirement that the dribble be started with one hand.

I do not know if the "two steps" was legal or illegal. Traveling is not dictated solely by how many steps a player takes. You would have to understand the concept of the pivot foot to know if it was traveling or not.

NFHS Rules: 4-15 and 4-42
