Sorry, no cigar
 
The kid clearly lifts his pivot foot before putting the ball down. And, oh, about the extra travel with that jump stop ...

Saw this on the news last night. There's probably a college soccer coach out there ready with a full-ride for this kid.

You're correct it's a violation, but for the wrong reason. He never dribbled, since the ball never left his hand when it touched the floor. (4-15-4 Notes 3) However, it is a travel because the pivot foot returned to the floor before the ball was released on a pass or shot.

Either way, I'm beating you to the locker room when you wipe off that shot. :)
