Without quoting the rule there are not a lot of shortcuts. If you commit a Jump Stop which by definition is something that you can only do after ending a dribble, you have no pivot foot and can only lift either foot, but cannot put them back down to the floor.
At the beginning of the dribble is easy. You cannot move your pivot foot until you have started a dribble.
The only way you are going to really learn the rule is to see plays and read and understand the rule. There are a lot of variables to this rule and why I think it is not called accurately all the time. There is no easy way to figure it out but understand what the rule says and put this into action.
