I've been schooled.
I would think you're half right, if upon trying to establish a LGP, one foot is OOB, it would be a foul on the defense. I also think that maybe what they are meaning by saying not having to keep both feet on the playing floor means the defense can jump, or be moving and a foot or both would be off the floor, since it was mentioned earlier.
