White 22 blocks our view of the ball handler's pivot foot. The lead official, without White 22 blocking his view, must have observed an extra step that we can't see.

Almost a good jump-stop

At first, I thought this must be a bad call, that it was a classic jump-stop, NF 4-44-2 a 3, (control in the air, come down on one foot, followed by landing on both feet simultaneously.)
Then, having watched the video a few more times, I noticed that it appears that he dragged the tip of his right foot, between the landing on the left and the subsequent landing on both.
That would justify the travel call, NF 4-44-2 a 2. If that's what the Lead saw, it was a correct call, IMO.

The official isn't going to call a travel just because it "looks bad". I had a game a few years ago in which coach A kept saying I should "call something" on B1 who was the other team's point guard because when he dribbled, his dribble "looked ugly". I told coach A that if "looking ugly" was against the rules, he wouldn't be allowed in the gym.

We were friends and he just laughed.

I can't tell either way if the call is correct or not due to the quality of the clip.
