Exactly.

4-43-1
A player who catches the ball with both feet on the floor, may pivot, using either foot.

Since a player can only move one foot when neither has been established as a pivot, it's traveling to move both.
All true. But in a ms gym that hasn't been swept for two weeks, leave a little bit of slide room. Maybe 2"-4". Or else, have the home coach drag the floor before the game starts.
