Basketball fans- should this have been traveling?

If this happened at the end of the game when it was tied with 10 seconds left the call gets made, it shouldn't be any diferent at the beginning of the game.

but either way it has no effect on play, so it's a good non-call.

Once he picks up one foot, the other one is established as a pivot foot (even if he doesn't do any actual pivoting). When he puts the first foot back down and then picks up his pivot foot, he's now switched pivot feet. When you switch your pivot foot, it's traveling.

This is correct.

Yeah but still, it would have been a totally anal call.

I personally would have made the call. It's a possesion! Every possesion is important. If this happened at the end of the game when it was tied with 10 seconds left the call gets made, it shouldn't be any diferent at the beginning of the game.

[/ QUOTE ] In my opinion this would be an even worse call with ten seconds left in the game. With all the bs that they let go when the the teams are actually competing there is no way this call should have been made. Conversly I think this non call would would be terrible and made worse with 10 seconds left if the games were called by the rules.
