If I was reffing I'd call that a travel...but who knows? I think even the fans were a bit stunned bc they had no clue what to think and were expecting a whistle...lol

"An offensive player may end his dribble by alighting off of one foot and landing simultaneously on both feet...Note that at this point, the player may not pivot; if he lifts either foot, the ball must be released prior to that foot returning to the floor."
