for ten feet, taking several full steps, and then picks up the ball. This would be legal based on this thread and everyone's opinion about the rules. This would also be a case whereby a pivot foot could be moved from one spot on the floor to another and there is no traveling violation. Now, once A1 picks up the ball, could A1 pivot on his left foot? Ruling?

Legal. A1 is permitted to touch the ball to the floor if he is holding the ball.

Illegal. A1 is no longer holding the ball. He has released (pushed) the ball to the floor a second time and is the first to touch it. Violation. The rest is irrelevant IMO.
