The easiest thing to say to a coach is "It was indeed a jump stop, but it was the illegal version." Or some such. "Yes, but it wasn't a legal jump stop." That takes the argument away from the terminology, and gets to the heart of the rule, which most coaches don't understand. As BBR said, it matters only WHEN the ball was gathered (or the dribble ended), NOT what the name of the maneuver is.
