It is also called the "pro hop" in many circles. But that is because that is the place you see it the most.
I do see the more skilled players do this all the time or the D1 caliber level (HS players) are more likely to attempt this move. What I have found, is that it is called improperly by many official, mainly because they do not see it that often. Either they call it when the move is legal, or they do not call it when the kids do it legally (move one of the pivot feet).
