A whistle on this play is a "game interrupter".

Not here it's not. Now, if it's close (and this may be close enough at full speed that it's hard to tell where his right foot is when he catches the ball), that's different.

It's a ticky-tack call.

Not the same as the crow hop or quick shuffle where a player tries to re-establish their feet because they're used to shooting with the same foot forward, etc.

Not doing it to gain an advantage, avoid a defender, or improve position.

Pass.

He uses that step to get into closer position for a three point shot, having his comfort foot forward for the shot. Not an advantage?

Ok.

How is it different from the "crow hop" as you call it??? Both are designed to get the shooter's feet set so they can be in their normal shooting motion, thus both are giving the shooter an advantage that he should not have because he violated the rules.

To call this a ticky tack call but imply that the crow hop is a good call makes absolutely no sense.

Around here, we call it "gamus interruptus".
