Travel, or No?

OK, so I've confimed that this is the best place to get help to what I consider to be the difficult basketball questions... Here's another:

The "Step-Through" post move. I will do my best to describe, although it is challenging without actually seeing it. Generally you see this more often in girls basketball... Post player A1 has the ball on the right block and has already used their dribble. They are legally pivoting on their left foot. After a shot fake toward the baseline A1 pivots back toward the lane, steps with their right foot into the lane while completely lifiting their left foot off the floor. After getting to their right foot they jump and shoot the basketball.

Travel? or No travel?

According to rule 4-44-3-a: The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. This move is legal. But it just looks terrible! In boys or college men it seems that when this move is performed the player jumps off of both feet, rather than taking a step and jumping off one foot.

Also, I noticed that traveling was also a 2009-10 NFHS Point of Empahsis, and the POE specifically stated the "step-through move" as a problem area that was giving the offensive players an unfair advantage (amongst others). However it did not elaborate further.

Thanks for all your help everyone!
