I think the reason this "jump stop" rule is so difficult is most of us were taught a jump stop as you step with one foot, pick up your dribble, land on two, and now you can choose to pivot with either foot.

Most coaches consider that action the jump stop.

I did not realize that this was not a jump stop according to the rules until a few years ago when I read the rule book.

Now when I teach these two moves, I tell my players there are really two types of jump stops, technically by the rules this is not true, but I have not found a good name for the mis labeled jump stop, so I stick with it. Old habits you know.
