Pivot, Dribble, Pivot?
Question
Hello,
I'm wondering what the rule is on establishing a pivot, dribbling, stopping the dribble and then pivoting again using the same pivot foot.
Is this allowed? Or would it be a travel?
Answer
JB,
Once you terminate your dribble, whichever foot you move, the other instantly becomes the pivot foot. If you catch the ball before dribbling, then you can use either foot as the pivot, and then dribble. But once you establish the pivot foot, you can not switch pivot feet at all or it's a Traveling violation.
I hope that helps.
