It never happens, but I don't see why the player couldn't catch the ball, then wait for any length of time before jumping off one foot and landing on two without a violation.

And you're talking above about a player that HASN't ended their dribble. In the play being discussed, the dribble has ended. Iow, your play above is completely irrelevant.

That's what I'm trying to get through to everybody.
