Yep, that is one of the requirements of a legal dribble. As opposed to the player moving his pivot and catching the ball out of the air. That's an illegal dribble. The other one is that the ball must be released before the pivot foot is lifted. If not, that would be traveling.

Also the official must consider whether this was a second dribble.

Nothing earth-shattering, but that's what I was talking about, bob.
