First of all let us deal with language. I do not know what a one count jump stop is. A jump stop is when a dribble is stopped on one foot and the dribbler jumps off of that foot and lands with both feet simultaneously. Neither foot can be considered a pivot foot in this case. And neither foot can be lifted and put back down before a shot or pass is completed. You cannot stop a dribble while in the air. Your terms like "one count" or "step through" have nothing to do with rulebook language and frankly are confusing to officials that are using the rules as their guide.

I can tell you that I have seen legal jump stops called traveling by many officials that are not used to seeing that move. Also the move is not executed very well at the lower levels.

I have did not officiated in the 70s do I have no idea what the rules were. There is nothing in the rules about counts. You either have a pivot foot established or you do not. Traveling is really all about the pivot foot and what you do with it before you dribble, shoot or pass. You need to throw away the "count" language when talking to officials that know the rules. I hear this all the time and I do not know what people are talking about.
