If he picks his pivot foot up, the only thing he can do is hold it, shoot it, or pass it. If he releases the ball for a dribble, it's a travel as soon as he touches it again.
The first dribble must be out of his hands before the pivot foot is lifted off of the floor.
Back when Iowa still had 6 player basketball (girls), the dribbling motion merely had to be started (downward motion of the hand starting the dribble) prior to the pivot foot coming up. But, they were only allowed 2 dribbles, too. (useless trivia for the evening/morning)
