I find this disturbing.
Its because you are allowed, in reality, two steps! The first step is your pivot foot (step 1) and then the other is with your non-pivot (step 2), and as long as the pivot doesn't return to the floor it is a legal play. As long as i have been reffing it has been that way at all levels!
