While I agree that you can't call everything, and deciding when to blow the whistle is a matter of judgment many times, at this level, and in this case I think it should have been called. The foot was dragged a minimum of 6 inches, constituting an advantage. The player regained his balance as a result of the violation. In a game of this magnitude, I would have called it. HAd it been a 7th grade girls game, of a JV game I would have ignored it.
Pivot means pivot, it doesn't mean "except when you need to move to regain your balance".
