Ummmm, how about this:

Player with ball is dribbling, takes one last dribble and simultaneously jumps off one foot and lands on both feet at the same time. He/She can pivot?

I've always believed they can.
Nope.
Cannot pivot.

Ok, why not? I've read and re-read the rule and I cannot see where it says you cannot.

Let's say you are dribbling with your right hand and as you dribble the ball one last time and as the ball is in the air, you jump off your left foot. Now both feet are in the air and the ball is in both hands. You land on both feet at the same time. From what I can read in the rules, if both feet land at the same time, either foot can be your pivot.

What am I reading wrong?
We see different plays, that's all.
Readin' and imaginin' don't always match.
Pick your play.
