Do you agree that in order to shoot or to pass he/she could only jump off of both feet again simultaneously?

Or:

Do you agree that in order to shoot or to pass he/she could lift one foot to shoot or pass as long as he/she does not pivot?

There seems to be a lot of different interpetations concerning the second item.
No need to be any conflict...expcept for the release of a a dribble after lifting the pivot foot, all traveling infractions occur when a lifted foot returns to the floor. No traveling violations occur, ever, when a foot is lifted.

Why? Becasue the pivot is defined as when the lifted foot touches the floor, not when it is lifted.
