On this play the dribbler caught the ball with his left foot down as the pivot foot.
Whether I say gather or catch, it doesn't change my ruling on this play.

Still, gather is used by many to mean two hands on the ball and what is necessary to end the dribble. That is simply not correct, by rule.
I base my judgement on the rules, not some made up term that as is commonly defined and used is in contrast to the rules.
