one and two count is reffered to in the NBA rulebook. Last time I looked(it's been a few years) the NCAA rulebook had a section on the jump stop. Ending the dribble before taking off on one foot and landing on two feet, no pivot foot allowed. And a jump stop ending the dribble in the air(or after jumping..I cant't remember the exact wording) and landing on two feet, either foot can be used as a pivot foot. We used to work on picking up the dribble after jumping off one foot so we could use either foot as our pivot foot after landing on two feet. This is very easy to do if taught properly even with kids as young as 11-12. Do you agree that after establishing a pivot foot you may step with the other foot, lift your pivot foot and shoot before the pivot foot touches the ground again? This sometimes looks funny since large distances can be covered without dribbling but I believe it is legal.
