In this case can't you keep hopping with your non pivot foot that is on the ground while the pivot foot is still in the air?

A player may not hop or jump, even off his non pivot foot. That's explicitly ruled traveling in the rules.

is there another rule to govern such cases?

Okay, if a player has his left foot as his pivot, he may step with his right foot, setting it on the floor. He may then lift his left pivot foot in a step, and proceed to jump off of his right foot to shoot or pass. That is legal, and it's done all the time in what's typically referred to as a "step through" move. I actually see it more often in girls ball, for some reason.
