Also, I think if you are splitting hairs with how a dribble ends when the player is bringing the ball to both of their hands, then you will be awful inconsistent (IMO) in trying to determine what a fast moving player is doing. I like to use the "gather" or when players being the ball together with both of their hands because it is clearer when that took place and most of the time.

Above is why NFHS and NCAA are the only two rule sets in the world still trying to use this determination to establish pivot foot. NBA and FIBA both now have "zero" step on catch/when dribble is ended by moving player and first foot contact after that is first step and pivot foot.

As their are multiple ways to end dribble/gather/(insert appropriate descriptive language) and determining when exactly this happens is inexact in real time all other rule sets are now establishing pivot foot after we can clearly see the ball has been caught/picked up.
