We could open a whole new can of worms describing the legal footwork allowed after a stride stop depending of course when the and how the ball was gathered but.....

1) I hate to tell you this, pitchfork, but that statement makes absolutely zero sense. Both cases that you cited are the exact same--->in both, the player is landing on both feet at the same time. But......in one, you say that the player has a pivot foot, but they don't have one in the other. Again, the rules, both NCAA and NFHS, are very explicit. If you land on both feet simultaneously, you can pivot on either foot.
2) Again, what can of worms? This play is also covered very explicitly under both NCAA and NFHS rules. The first foot that the player lands on is
always the pivot foot.
Both of those calls are easy, as long as an official reads and understands the rules. A good official will have no problems at all with them. Those rules haven't changed in the last 50 years either, no matter what some people might want to call them.
