If he ends the dribble after he jumps, he can pivot.
But both are JUMP STOPS.
But according to you guys, if a player jumps, ends his dribble while airborne and then lands with both feet simultaneously, it's not a jump stop.
If it's not a jump stop, what the hell is it? Call it what you want, they don't call it a jump stop in Western PA. They would refer to this as a player landing with the ball.

Again, in my area of the country, the teaching for NFHS refs that I have experienced, has only defined the "jump stop" as jumping off one foot and landing on two - using this term as a situation when player may no longer pivot. Maybe we are still in the Stone Age up here. All I was doing was clarifying that the term "Jump Stop" seems to have different connotations in different parts of our nation. Thank you for the education on the broader definition of the term. I will do my best to have the other refs in my area begin thinking along this line.
