The NBA's Official Rules don't clearly address this situation. They simply say:
g. If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor.

(g) answers your question,Erik.Legal to shoot or passs until the pivot foot comes back down.Forget about (f). Don't confuse "shooting or passing" with "starting a dribble".These are 2 different rules.
