I have a feeling this going to be split down the middle. Here's how I interpret it. Both knees on the floor = 2 feet on the floor. Lift one knee to bring the foot to the floor, now you have established the knee the is still on the floor as the "pivot." If that knee is lifted prior to a dribble, pass or shot, then we have a travel.

Just my opinion.

Are you sure this is your opinion?

You can lift whatever you want to pass/shoot. You can not to dribble.

The knee is never, ever, the pivot. Read bob's post again, you'll likely have to decide for yourself whether lifting a knee is an attempt to stand.

But the knee cannot be the pivot for purposes of the traveling rule.

Ever.

Not to mention your misunderstanding of what can be done after the pivot foot is lifted.

Lots of work to do here.
