When a player jumps, it is a travel for either foot (pivot or other) to return to the floor before the ball is release. The question to be asked is really "was it a jump or a step?" That is a judgement the official must make. In a layup, it is quite clearly a step. At the other end of the spectrum, a player jumping straight up is a jump. At some point in between, it changes from one to the other. I'd say it really depends on the "vector" of the movement...ie...was it more horizontal or more vertical?
