Jump or Step
A previous post got me to thinking. What is the difference between a jump and a step? Does one foot have to remain on the court for it to be a step? It is a fine line between the two as I see it.
A1 picks up his dribble, pivots then steps/jumps from pivot foot to non-pivot foot while retaining possession of the ball.. If it is a step, it is legal. If it is a jump, it is illegal.
Sure if the jump is vertical it is easy to define, but not when horizontal is added. Is it simply, however the official judges or is it as long as one foot remains on the court? I can think of no other criteria.
