Can a player jump stop from a stationary position?
RULE 4 / DEFINITIONS
Section 70. Traveling
Art. 2. A player who catches the ball with both feet on the playing court may
pivot, using either foot. When one foot is lifted, the other is the pivot foot.
Art. 3. A player who catches the ball while moving or dribbling may stop and
establish a pivot foot as follows:
b. When one foot is on the playing court:
1. That foot shall be the pivot foot when the other foot touches in a
step;
2. The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both;
neither foot can then be the pivot foot.
Suppose A1 is stationary, lifts up his right foot, ends his dribble and never returns foot to the floor. Can A1 perform a jump stop right after?
