Just because the pivot foot is off the ground prior to the other foot coming down, I don't think that necessarily means that you have a "jump"....could it be a "controlled fall"?
I picture a situation when a player jumps off the pivot foot to attempt a shot, but afraid it is going to be blocked, just holds it and comes down on the non-pivot foot...obviously a travel....suppose there is a slight amount of judgement involved to determine what is a "jump", but it shouldn't be too difficult to tell in practice..
