Starting Dribble from floor

[DrPete]

I've never heard of that rule either. The definition of a travel speaks of releasing the ball before the pivot foot is lifted, but that assumes that the player is already standing.
You could also catch a pass while airborne and start a dribble before any foot touched the floor. A pivot foot does not need to be established before a dribble starts.

Additionally, a standing player who catches the ball with both feet on the floor isn't required to pivot before being permitted to dribble.
