Well, there are really two "jump stop" situations. (and from your OP, I think you're talking about the first, but just in case, I'll mention the second.)

1.) Player stops the dribble with both feet off the floor, and comes to a "jump stop." In this case, player may establish a pivot foot, and pivot, pass, or shoot.

2.) Player stops dribble, with one foot on the floor, hops off that foot, and then comes to a "jump stop." In this case, player may either pass or shoot, but may not pivot. Lifting a foot from the floor, and then returning it is a travel.

I do my best to enforce these two situations, and if there's any doubt about whether there was a step before the "jump stop," then I assume there was none (can't call something you don't see principle).
