Not still, or motionless, but he is unable to move beyond the reach of his pivot foot without violating.Consider the usage of "stop" as in "stop ball!", a common coaching command meaning to force the dribbler pick up his dribble during a fast break. When properly executed, the dribbler can no longer make direct progress toward the basket. He has been stopped.
If I take the highlighted text in your quote as true, and I have no reason not to, then it makes sense to me. The red text belongs to BITS, the blue text belongs to scratch.
