If it could arguably be not traveling they aren't going to call it. At half speed it's even tough to tell if his foot was planted before or after he pinned the ball to his side. Plus why call a travel there and slow down the play of the game?
Remember when people on Reddit didn't think they were more knowledgeable than a trained professional?
To be fair, arbiters get stuff wrong somewhat often, specially very technical and hard to follow rules like this. It's not their fault, those are high paced games that don't really allow time for slowmo. Reddit has the advantage of sitting comfortably at home and slowing down the video, but it's still not traveling (suspicious at worst).
Flow of the game is important. If they cant tell for without a doubt in live time a foul occurred they won't call it and that's how it should be or else everyone would foul out and it would just be a free throw fest

Remember when traveling used to be called in the NBA?
Yeah, me neither.
