Yes. Welcome to the forum. You can stand there all day with your pivot foot in the air and not commit a travel. As others have said, you can pass, shoot or call a time out. What you can't do is start a dribble or put that pivot foot back down. Remember the traveling has everything to do with what the pivot foot does and not how many steps or what looks "funny."

Focus on that pivot foot and you will get a lot more calls correct.

And, except for the start of a dribble part of the travel rule, it is always the foot coming down that creates the travel, not the lifting of the foot.

Unless you start a dribble with the pivot foot up. This is a travel. The pivot foot need not come back down.

I believe that's what he just said.

Ok. Was a bit confusing as he worded it. Just wanted to clarify for our new found friend.
