What rule says this? Are you thinking of the rule where you can't set the ball on the floor, stand up, then pick up the ball again?

Thanks for the input Mark.
4-43-3 and 4-43-4 only allow you to move your pivot when you try for a goal, start a dribble, or pass; violation traveling. So, if I place a ball on the floor, it better be a pass, otherwise it's a travel when I walk away from the ball.
I get your point that passes are attempts to throw to ANOTHER player; but there are exceptions, if you throw at your backboard, you are sometimes trying to pass to yourself.
