refTN, I think you are being a bit too loose with this. More times than not - many more in my experience - the player has NOT left the floor before he does the jump stop.
I used to do it without a lot of vertical jump because I used it to get to a spot. I would jump to where I wanted to go on the floor. Many players use it at the end of a move with a lot of up (more up than to a particular spot). In my case, I would either have the ball directly in front of me with both hands or position the ball however I needed to so I could avoid the defense. Either way, my dribble has ended as I was jumping. The other things players do is loop the ball in a huge arc as they come down on two feet. This is done after the dribble has ended - before the jump stop began.
These are just my observations and I would call an additional step a travel. This is one area where the NBA mentality must be taken out because they view traveling differently.
