I understand the rule. It just seems that most of the players pick up the dribble with one foot on the floor, jump stop, and then pivot. THAT is a travel and it is rarely, if ever, called at the NCAA level, and sparingly at the HS level. Just like picking up with a foot on the floor and landing with one foot and then the other. That's a travel, but is rarely called.
