I believe this is legal since neither foot is the pivot foot on a jump stop. However, this seems to circumvent the traveling rule of lifting the pivot foot before releasing the ball from the hand on a dribble.
I believe the rule book should address this situation and clarify that this situation is legal or travel. Right now I believe it is legal but I feel like it is an unfair advantage to the dribbler. If not legal please explain.

In this situation, "both" feet are pivot feet.
The ball must be released on a dribble before either foot is raised.
