Incorrect. Once you "jump" it is a travel for either foot to touch the floor while still in player control. You can step to the other foot, even lift the pivot foot, but not jump.

Rule 4, Section 43
ART. 3 . . . After coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot:
a. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal.
b. If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal.
c. The pivot foot may not be lifted before the ball is released, to start a dribble.
