Why not? The player lifted his/her pivot foot before beginning what turned out to be a dribble. That's travelling.

4.44.3B has the player returning to the floor with the ball. BNRs sitch is with the ball being released.

In the 2008-09 book the player jumps, releases the ball and starts a dribble -- travelling violation. I thought that was the play being discussed. Apologies if it wasn't.

I referenced an 06-07 online Fed version. It might be that my reference was incorrect. BNR's post #26 covers all the possibilities of which I am aware.
No apology necessary as no offense was taken. Friends?
