I thought that the "two count rhythm" thing meant a player in the NBA was not only allowed to lift his pivot foot (after the first "count" or step), but place it back on the floor (which would be the second "count" or step). Not that I have to tell you, but just for the sake of completing the thought, high school players can not lift the pivot foot and place it back on the floor before releasing the ball.
