But you mentioned:

A player may not hop or jump, even off his non pivot foot. That's explicitly ruled traveling in the rules.

In my scenario his pivot foot is off the ground and he jumps with his non pivot foot. It's not a step through right since he already stopped his dribble long time ago?

It's traveling when the pivot returns to the floor. You may jump, lifting either foot first prior to releasing a shot or a pass.

It isn't a travel unless and until he lands while continuously holding the ball. The hop I referred to as a travel includes the landing as your example indicated (hopping on the non pivot while keeping the pivot foot in the air.)
