Agree, but it was very difficult to see on the video, which is why I passed.

If you’re not sure, don’t call it.

If one ignores everything that came before that (which we can't), the last pivot would have been legal.

Assume legal start of dribble drive (I've got a travel). Assume legal jump into jump stop (I'm not sure, but won't argue against it being illegal):
