Where the player picks it up

I understand and am fine with the jump stop. No problem. Its when the dribble stops part that I am having trouble seeing. I have played and officiated for years, but still have difficulty visioning a player stoping his dribble AFTER the jump stop procedure starts.

Any (more) help with this?
I would suggest focussing on when the player ends the dribble (picks up, or 'controls', the ball). If the player is ON his/her front foot when the ball is picked up, he or she may not pivot after landing. If the player is in the air - having jumped off of one foot - pivot after landing on two feet is permissible.
