The move of establishing your pivot foot...lifting your pivot foot prior to a pass or shot...and then passing or shooting prior to putting the pivot foot back down, is one of many areas that caught my attention as I read through the rule book for the first time.
I have always thought, previously to reading the rule book, that once you lift the pivot foot it is a travel.
Now, am I correct in thinking, just as in the Gary Payton situation, you can (1) establish a pivot foot anywhere on the floor (2) before or after a dribble occurs (3) and you can lift the pivot foot anytime after...as long as you PASS or SHOOT before returning the pivot foot to the floor? In other words, this move does not have to occur in the post, or in conjunction with a move to the basket?
