If it were a true "jump-stop", then a pivot would be illegal. A true "jump-stop" is performed by gathering the ball while in the air, landing on one foot,

NFHS does not define "jump stop" (iirc).
NCAA defines it as either (or both) of the above.
So, either way, when a coach (or parent) asks, "Can a player pivot after a jump stop?" the answer should be, "It depends."
