traveling question

If a player ends his dribble in the air and comes to the floor on a legal one count jumpstop(player can declare either foot as a pivot foot) can the player then jab with his right foot(this declares the left foot as the pivot foot), crossover with his right foot,lift his pivot foot(left foot) jump off his right foot and shoot the ball before his pivot foot hits the ground again. I learned this move in high school in Iowa and it was called the jumpstop step through and it was never called traveling. Whenever my kids execute this move properly they get called for traveling. A very good High school ref told me that after the two count that both feet must leave the ground at the same time or it is a walk. I disagree, the only time you don't have a pivot is if you land with two feet on a two count. I have two other dads on my team,one who played for Lute olsen and another who played in the NBA for 11 seasons who have never seen the move I desribed above and they both think it is traveling. I learned this move in the 70s from Ralph Miller.Have the rules changed since I played in the 70s or did the refs in Iowa let us all get away with traveling.
