And I'm saying, in a case like this, you don't even have to know which foot was the pivot (you probably will) to call a travel. If he's on one or both feet holding the ball at the free throw line and winds up on both feet under the basket, and it obviously was not a jump stop, he traveled. If a coach wants to ask which foot was the pivot in this case, it doesn't deserve an answer.

When coaches ask me about a travel, which is seldom, I usually respond by identifying the pivot foot, right, or left, and then mutter something about, "in excess of the prescribed limit". The fact that I know which foot is the pivot foot, combined with some "rulespeak" mumbo jumbo, usually impresses them, and they shut up. Most coaches are expecting a response with some mention of steps taken, and when I don't respond in such a manner, it confuses them and takes them off their game. Coaches can easily get flustered, and lose their train of thought. Speechless coaches are so cute.

Most conversations I have about traveling involve the phrase "he gets two steps" at some point.

Then you need to do some serious work on your communication skills. It's quite simple:

"Coach, he lifted and replaced both feet, so I can call a travel for either."
