(as i understand the rules. that ok to raise the pivot foot)
Now you must shot or pass, and its forbidden to bring down the pivot foot.
my questions are:
1.a) is there a time limit to stay standing on the other foot?
1.b) is there any travelling rule that say that its forbidden to jump on the second foot? (for exmple if you lose stability)

2) dribble end.
2.a)is it ok to throw the ball (gently and purposly) on the oponent body and recover it back after you did walk (ofcourse i mean that the oponent didnt touch the ball with his hands)?
2.b) is it ok to dirbble after you throw the ball on oponent body and recoverd it back?

1a. The only time limit is either the 5 second closely gaurded on the shot clock expiring. (24 seconds in FIBA)

1b. This would be a violation.

2a. In order to commit a travelling violation you must be in control of the ball (i.e. holding the ball) and move you pivot foot illegally. In your example you cannot call a travelling violation because the player is not in control of the ball.

Seeing as the OP is not from the USA I suspect he would be speaking of FIBA rules. FIBA rules do not allow a player to request a timeout. Only the H/C or A/C can request a timeout through the score table and this request should be granted during the next dead ball.

BTW... Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the U.S.A from your northern neighbours!!!
