Yes, once you lift the pivot floor off the floor you may pass, shoot or ask a timeout. Returning the foot to the floor or initiating a dribble constitutes a travelling violation.

This is how I understand the rule.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Besides shooting or passing, you can also call a timeout. That's all.

Maybe in college or HS, but the NBA has had the "at least 1 foot on the ground inbounds" rule for timeouts for about 10 years now.  I think shooting, passing, and throwing the ball off an opponent are about it.

I think they can call a time-out while airbone except if any part of their body is out of bounds.
