That can be a problem. When people can simply make up definitions to suit themselves, it can only cause confusion and rule myths for everyone else.
Panther's example is certainly a legal move, but it's not a jump stop. While the NFHS doesn't have a definition, the NCAA does, and I believe that's one we should all adopt. While I've never heard of any confusion over "jump stop," it may not be a bad idea to get that term into Rule 4.
In the end, it's all about being on the same page.
