The NFHS and NCAA travel rules are almost identical. But there are differences with the NBA rule. In the NBA, you are allowed to pivot at the end of a "two-count". This allows a player to use either foot as the pivot foot (with some restrictions) after landing on one foot followed by the other. In high school and college, only the first foot may be used as the pivot in that situation. Also, the NBA's two-count allows a player to pivot after completing a legal jump stop (jump off one foot and land on two feet simultaneously). In NCAA and NFHS, there is no pivot foot after completing a legal jump stop.
