You can then lift one or both feet but not return either to the floor without passing or shooting.
As I am reading this, you are saying that if you pick up the ball with one foot on the floor and come to a jump stop, you cannot then establish a pivot foot? I have never seen this interpretation. I have always thought that when you come to a legal, simultaneous two-foot landing, you can establish either foot as the pivot.
