This got a little complicated, as these situations often do.
NFHS:
When a player is going to pass or shot - and an official or coach says that's a travel and the reason used is that they lifted their pivot foot. That would be wrong.
If the pivot foot is lifted before the start of the dribble (ball out of hand) that would be a violation. Other than that lifting the pivot foot off the ground is not a violation until the pivot foot returns to the ground if the ball is still in possesion.
Thanks to all.
