Travel or not

[Raymond]

I saw the play. It was clearly a travel. Cannot lift pivot foot before starting a dribble.

That's not what will spark the real debate here. The real issue is that the ball was at the top of the key and slightly on the trail's half of the court. It was the lead who came with a delayed whistle after the player proceeded to dribble towards the paint. The lead however gave no signal. He immediately went out to the trail and after a brief discussion the trail came out with a travel signal.
