Nope, I'm afraid you're wrong. "A player who catches the ball with both feet on the floor, may pivot, using either foot.
When one foot is lifted, the other is the pivot foot." Whether he lifts them simultaneously or not, once he lifts a foot, a pivot is established. This is traveling.
4.44.3 SITUATION B: A1 receives the ball with both feet off the floor and he/she lands simultaneously on both feet without establishing a pivot foot. A1 then jumps off both feet in an attempt to try for goal, but realizing the shot may be blocked, A1 drops the ball to the floor and dribbles.
RULING: A1 has traveled as one foot must be considered to be the pivot and must be on the floor when the ball is released to start a dribble. The fact that no pivot foot had been established does not alter this ruling.
