b.if the other foot (right) touches the floor while the left foot is lifted, the right foot is the pivot.
2.Player catches the ball with both foot on the floor:
Either 1 of the feet can be chosen as pivot
3.Player catches the ball with no foot on the floor, and then lands with both feet (not necessarily simultaneously)
a.the 1st foot that touches the floor is the pivot,
b.both feet land at the same time player can choose 1 pivot foot.
I hope the above scenarios are correct.
But i have a 4th scenario:
4.Player catches the ball with 1 foot on the floor (left), stands on that foot, does a few pump fakes for few seconds, then steps on his other foot (right) while his left foot leaves the floor, this scenario is similar to 1 except the player stopped for a while before continuing with his 2nd step, so would the right foot be his pivot or his left?
Must the player catch the ball with 1 foot already on the ground to make the 2nd foot a pivot or the player can catch the ball with 1 foot touching the floor simultaneously?

1. Whenever the second foot hits the floor, the first foot is the pivot. It doesn't matter whether the first foot is still on the floor.
2. Correct
3. Correct with my addition
4. Based on the correction in 1, which foot do you think is the pivot? Note that "stopping for a while" is of no consequence here -- as you've already asked and been told. And, how the F does a player catch the ball "with 1 foot touching the ground simultaneously?"
Just like with your previous posts on this subject, you are making it way harder than it is.
