Actually, this comment is not correct either. If the pivot foot is lifted before the ball is released for a dribble, whether or not it's put back down has no bearing on the violation.
I know you know that, but it just seemed like you were quick to point out a fault, without asking what stiffler really meant. And, what stiffler said is actually how I've heard it phrased at many camps. Another good tip I've heard at camp is to pick up the defender a little quicker on a drive so it makes the block/charge call a little easier to call. I sure hope that doesn't mean I have to put both arms around the defender and pick them up off the floor?
I think Bob was simply pointing out you seem to be the one that needs to lighten up a little. You could've simply asked stiffler what they meant, instead of assuming they were phrasing it incorrectly.
