NFHS rule 4-44-2a(1):
"A player who catches the ball while moving or dribbling may stop and establish a pivot foot as follows:
a(1)-if both feet are off the floor and the player lands simultaneously on both feet, either foot may be the pivot".
NFHS rule 4-44-3a:
"After coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot, the pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal".
Those are the applicable rules, pitchfork
verbatim. NCAA rules are the same. Iow, the play as described by you is legal.
