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?

The Situation described above is traveling.
I will return Sunday with a detailed defense of my position. I have to leave to get the concession stand ready for Start H.S.'s football game tonight and tomorrow the family and I go to Youngstown, Ohio, to watch they YSU Penguins take on Valapariso Univ.
Everybody have a nice weekend.
MTD, Sr.
