I didn't quote it, but I checked it before I posted. Here's the relevant portions of the rule:
Quote:
4-44-3 After coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot:
a. The pivot foot may be....
b. If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned....
c. The pivot foot may not be lifted before the ball is released, to start a dribble.

The rule itself says nothing about a player who can establish a pivot foot but jumps instead. The case play seems based more on the intent and spirit of the traveling rule.
