Where else are the PU's feet supposed to be?

I would think it would be the one she pivots on.

Correct. As long as she has not moved either foot after getting possession of the ball, either foot can become the pivot foot. Once she moves one foot, the other foot becomes the pivot foot - until and unless she passes the ball or begins dribbling.

She'd better wipe off after she begins dribbling.
