Traveling?
Had this happen in game last night. Player A1 has the ball and still has his dribble. Jumps to shoot, changes his mind and starts dribbling before returning to floor. No travel was called, however, both coaches (Team A and B) thought it should be a travel.

A Player has to begin the dribble before the pivot is lifted from the floor. Once a player has jumped, the pivot foot is no longer in contact with the floor. This player now has a few options. Shoot, Pass or call Time Out. They could also throw the ball of an opponent. But that would also be considered as a pass.
So to answer the original post. The player has commited a traveling violation. |

A1's coach jumped up and said "HEY! That's right, call the travel!" |

The other case play is closer to the actual situation described in the original post, but they both use the same criteria(rule).....the pivot foot must be on the floor when a dribble is started. |

There is no FIBA-caseplay for this situation so I have acctually mailed this question on to my mentor to make sure I get it right, but here is what I think
This is a travel based on this rule 25.2.2 Progressing with the ball for a player who has established a pivot foot while having the control of a live ball on the playing court: ▬ To pass or shoot for a field goal, the player may jump off a pivot foot, but neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released from the hand(s). Since it says to pass or shoot for a field goal jumping with the intent to dribble must be a travel furthermore, if he has a pivot foot established, then when he jumps he lifts it. And if you have lifted your pivot foot you're not allowed to dribble So this should be a travel
