I'm pretty sure that when establish a pivot foot while moving (like when taking a lay-up), there's no difference between a jump and a step (4-43-2).

This is very important to me. I have to make it very clear.
in 4-43-2:
"ART. 2 . . . A player, who catches the ball while moving or dribbling, may stop, and establish a pivot foot as follows:
a. If both feet are off the floor and the player lands:
...
2. On one foot followed by the other, the first foot to touch is the pivot."
I thought it described a "step". but you are saying it can be a "jump" too.
So, after catching the ball in mid air, a player can land with one foot and
jump right off it, then land on the
other foot and jump off it again to shoot. you believe it is perfectly legal. Do I understand you correctly?
Thanks.
