Ok so the rules seem to indicate that unless both feet touch the ground it then and only then can we see what foot is the pivot and or if there can be a pivot foot.

ART 1 : :... catches the ball with both feet on the floor may pivot using either foot (see nevadarefs 4.33 PIVOT rule description)
ART2 If both feet off the floor
a.1 player lands on both feet simultaneously either foot pivot
a.2 one foot then the other ... (both feet on teh floor) ,,,,
a.3 one foot then jumps no pivot foot available

b one foot on the floor,
b.1 becomes pivot when other foot touches in a step
b.2 same as a.3 (except one foot is on floor for starters.)

ART 3 talks about what can be done after a pivot foot has been establishing . ART2 still is the governing article for establishing pivot foot.

ART 4 describes what can be done when Art 2.a.3 and Art 2.b.2 apply.


So if you read Nevadarefs post in conjunction with this, we can conclude that "coming to a stop" is prior to establishing a pivot foot as in ART2
Art3 and Art4 and ART5 really do not have any description as to how to establish a pivot foot but only describe what you can do once ART2 has been applied
