I know that these are in different articles, but the principle should still apply.

You explain it by looking up the definition of a "pivot" in NFHS rule 4-35. That states that to have a pivot, the player must
STEP once or more with the non-pivot foot. Simply raising a foot isn't a "step". And without a "step", you don't have a "pivot"
Also see NFHS rule 4-44-4(a)....
After coming to a stop when neither foot can be a pivot, one or both feet may be lifted but may not be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal." That's pretty definitive.
Btaylor had it right. Funny-looking ain't necessarily illegal.
