What is the supposed definition of Travelling? Was their a rule change?

I don't keep up with the NBA anymore and watch less College than I use to do. Part of that is what I perceive as cupping the ball and see 3 or 4 steps with nothing called. I 've seen the ball picked up 15' out and take 2 steps then a jump to stop and take a jump shot. It use to be 1 1/2 for a layup

There are plenty of videos out there than demonstrate what a gather step is a lot better than our words will do.
 
I feel like kids travel every other play. Some things the refs usually let slide either way. Others are just too obvious. But like most calls in college basketball, it’s turned subjective and we have inconsistent rules and standards.
