Traveling is moving the pivot foot outside prescribed limits.
The pivot foot may not be lifted before the ball is released, to start a dribble.
Therefore, lifting the pivot foot in this situation is the violation. It simply isn't called until the dribble is released.

I cannot agree (see LDUB's reply): it's a violation if you start a dribble
after you've lifted the pivot foot. Lifting the pivot foot is not "per se" a violation.

Yes.

It's already a violation. If you end the dribble with a foot in the frontcourt the ball has frontcourt status, because when the dribble has ended the "three point rule" doesn't hold any more; putting down the other foot in the backcourt is a violation.

I know what I'm talking about. I believe that case would be a violation also under Fed rules.
