The jump stop comment:
We have two talented players that are both good at the jump stop move while driving to the basket. Sure, sometimes the feet don't hit the floor at the same moment, and I understand those travel calls. But at least 20% of the officials we have will call a legal jump stop a travel. (We had two layups wiped last night. Maybe they aren't used to seeing it at this level (HS varsity girls), or maybe they just don't know the rule. Please, for the sake of all the talented players with the ability to make athletic moves, review the rule today!

PA Coach,
Waytago!
(Hmmm, ... that sounds like a town in Wisconsin.)
If you have 80% of your officials calling this correctly, you are ahead of the game.
I imagine there is 20% that no-call an illegal jump stop.
And if you have 20% calling a legal jump stop a travel, you have a wash.
