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.

Whether you have the NBA/FIBA rule or the NFHS/NCAA rule, you still have some action that marks the when the traveling rules come into effect, regardless of how much foot movement is permitted. All the FIBA/NBA rules have done is make it so that more foot movement after a catch is legal...but there is still a specific point at which the travel rules begin. When was the ball caught? And, then, how much foot movement is legal.
