What does this mean? "If a player ends". . . Ends what? You can't mean ending your dribble, b/c the 2-count starts after the dribble has ended.

In college if you virtually gather the ball while in the air

What the fat does this even mean?!?! "Virtually gather"? What is that? What is virtually gathering? I literally have no idea what you are talking about. It sounds like you're muddying the waters simply to make it sound better. But it makes no sense at all.

If you gather it with one foot on the floor, and jump stop you may not pivot or land with a one-two count.
Unless the NBA rule has changed in the last few years (and it's possible that it has), this is simply incorrect.
