When a dribbler pickes up the dribble and jumps to a stop on one foot followed by the other is it a jump stop or traveling? If a jump stop, can he pivot?
I have seen it called both ways. Some coaches agree some do not. Is one foot followed by the other just like a lay up?
Does the dribbler actually take a step after he picks up the dribble and then jumps to a stop?
Who can define the jump stop?

The correct answer depends on what you mean by "picks up the dribble" --
1) If one foot is on the ground, and the player jumps off that foot and lands (a) on both feet simultaneouosly -- neither foot can be the pivot; (b) on one foot followed by the other -- it's a travelling violation
2) If neither foot is on the ground and the player lands (a) on both feet simultaneously -- either can be the pivot; (b) on one foot followed by the other -- the first foot to land is the pivot foot; (c) on one foot and then the player jumps off that foot -- see #1
