Re: lifting the pivot foot

Thanks, everyone, for your replies. I gather from them that a player pivoting in the post could legally lift his pivot foot, step with the other foot, remain on that foot indefinitely with his original pivot foot off the floor, and then pass or shoot. I had always thought, incorrectly it turns out, that once the pivot foot is lifted it's traveling if either foot comes down with ball in hand.
I don't want to confuse things here, but your description DOES sound like traveling to me. Player is pivoting in the post, lifts his pivot foot, STEPS WITH THE OTHER FOOT (do you mean like a "hop?") I don't see how he can STEP with the other foot without lifting it off the floor and then returning to the floor with it. If he lands with the ball in his hands = traveling. If he releases the ball (while both feet are still off the floor), it is legal.

Which do you mean? Or is it something entirely different?
