Rules of Pivoting

[rainmaker]

A player may pivot either direction as far and as many times as he or she wishes, as long as the pivot foot does not move along the floor (in other words, it stays in one spot on the floor).

Remember that the pivot foot can't slide. This goes for any time a dribble isn't in effect, such as on a shot or pass. If the pivot foot slides before the ball is released, it's a travel.
