He can also lift only one pivot foot, like a step through, as long as it doesn't hit the floor before he passes or shoots.

Um, how does a player jump with out moving either foot?

(Unless you've seen me jump, perhaps...)

At work? I would hope not. I know at my job, at least, there are rules against that sort of thing.

Unless, of course, they have set up a room for you to do it in private.

Office doors were a wonderful invention.

The problem with office doors is that they are connected to offices...which were NOT a wonderful invention as a place to do work.

I'm too new here to know when you guys are joking, but you don't need a pivot to shoot or pass.....you DO need one to start a dribble....therefore (ergo), after a jump stop and no pivot available, your only two GOOD recourses are to shoot or pass, even if you have to jump (thereby moving your feet)...but definitely, no dribble....

You don't have to have a pivot foot to start a dribble.
