I called the travel, A fans went nuts. Was I positive? No. But I thought it was the right call. Partner told me after the game as he administered the throw-in next to A's bench, he heard the head coach say softly, "Damn good call."

I am confused, you stated: "A2 lifted his pivot before he put the ball on the floor"

Based upon your description of the play, why wouldn't you be positive. A2 lifted his pivot foot before releasing the ball to start his dribble. That is traveling.
