1) I don't think I was being anal.
2) His statement did not imply what you say it did.
3) He meant something (lifting the pivot before a dribble) totally different from what you thought he meant (lifting the pivot and re-touching the floor); so obviously we all
don't know what he was saying.
He made a blanket statement -- if you know the pivot moved, call the violation -- that is simply not true. Those of us with experience (including btaylor) know when you can and can't move your pivot foot, but there might be new officials reading that who don't know.
I was simply trying to make the point that a player can move the pivot foot in lots of legal ways. I guess I could've made it in a better manner.
