We sometimes try to hard to pick apart the words of non-officials and don't, at least sometimes, give the a little benefit of doubt that they may know the topic but just don't know the technical words.

You're wrong. That guy has no idea what he is talking about. Watch some of the other videos in the series and you can hear him talk about traveling during a throw in, reach in fouls, how when A1 is holding the ball it is a foul if B1 contacts A1's hand while trying to hit the ball, 5 second counts stop when a dribbler tries to attack the basket....

That guy doesn't know the rules of basketball. If he actually understood that lifting the pivot foot wasn't traveling why would he say "if he lifts that pivot foot at any time it's considered a travel" on a video that he was posting on the internet for people to learn the rules from?
