In both situations lifting the pivot foot is not a violation; what occurs after the pivot foot is lifted is the violation.
Then I guess the rule book is wrong, since that's were I quoted from.

The violation occurs because the pivot foot was moved outside prescribed limits.

So if a dribbler ends his dribble while straddling the division line, it's a violation in FEEBLE Rules? That's just stupid.

I know what I'm talking about. I believe that case would be a violation also under Fed rules.
No, you don't and no it isn't. Under NFHS, when dribbling, a player is not in the FC until all three points are in the FC.

Me thinks you have your FC and BC status mixed up.
