The rules regarding whether the player has a pivot have nothing to do with whether the move is part of a dribble or a pass.

The determining factor is what happens after the airborne player catches the ball.

1) If s/he lands on both feet simultaneously, then either foot may be the pivot.

2) If s/he lands on one foot followed by the other, then only the first foot to touch the ground may be the pivot.

3) If s/he lands on one foot, then jumps and lands on both feet simultaneously, then neither foot may be the pivot.
