I know the taboo of using steps to count but another fellow forummer official said he'll call it travel for "more than 2 steps" & that means counting from the right foot when we can argue she was still in dribbling motion & the ball hasn't rest on her hand.

I've seen another video that even though the ball has been on the handler's hand and they only consider the dribble has ended and pivot foot establish when the ball is resting on his hand which in that scenario was the 2nd step he took in our case is the left foot.

When a player has gathered is a judgment call by the official. At the point we have determined there was a gather, we then must immediately ascertain which foot is the pivot.

If you're talking about my comments, that's not what I said. And what I said was way too long and convoluted. Stick with bob's statement that I paraphrased above.

And, judgment.
