Is 360 Spin move legal?

EDITED

The move he starts at 2:20 isn't. His hand is underneath the ball when he starts the spin, meaning the dribble has ended. At that point his pivot foot - the left - is still on the floor. He takes a step onto his other foot then his left foot comes down again.

If he'd landed on both feet at the same time then the move would've been legal. The only foot movement allowed after that would've been to jump to either shoot or pass the ball.

I don't think you were looking at the correct play. He ends the dribble with his left foot on the floor...jumps off that foot and lands on both feet.

Might be the case. I was looking at the play immediately after the 2:20 mark.

There isn't a single play after the 2:20 mark where the dribble ends with the right foot on the floor.

Ahh...that would be because I can't tell my left from my right

All those legs look the same once they start spinning around

At any rate, my feelings hold from my first post just with the legs reversed. I edited my original post.

It's so simple. Pick a hand and hold it in front of you, palm outward. Make a ninety degree angle with your thumb and index finger. If it looks like a capital "L", then it's your left hand. If it doesn't, then it's your right hand.

Billy - do you know what Sam the Sham meant in Wooly Bully when he said, "Let's not be L-7"?

Does it work the same way with legs?

Takes me back to my military days with trainees and trying to teach them how to march.......

The rule says dribble ends when ball is resting on hand, in the video it was his left foot as he carried the ball with his right hand+wrist.

How about if he didn't carry with his hand/wrist but ball was on his right hand like a normal spin dribble move while on his left foot, and holds the ball after he moved his right foot, would the right be the pivot or it is determined by the foot that is on the floor as long as there is no more dribble even if the ball hasn't rested while on the hand?

the question is more about when he established the pivot foot assuming he wasn't carrying while on his left foot.

another scenario would be a normal dribble, so the player has his left foot on the floor, ball is in contact with his right hand but not holding/palming just normal dribble motion and while stepping on his right foot he decides to hold the ball with both hands, in this case would the initial left foot be his pivot or right foot?

Again, too many abstract "what ifs" for me. Find his pivot and referee the play.
