Nice Citation ...

Hard to see, but you saw it, and I believe it.

I like your citation, it's different than mine, but yours, unlike mine, is the correct citation.

4-44-2-B: A player who catches the ball while moving or dribbling may stop and establish a pivot foot as follows: If one foot is on the floor: It is the pivot when the other foot touches in a step. The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. Neither foot can be a pivot in this case.

My alternate (hard to see) illegal call was correct, but for the wrong reason.
