I agree that it's called incorrectly most of the time, but that's b/c of how we see it called at higher levels. IMHO, the jump stop should be illegal, anyway. It's clearly an "up and down" and should be a travel. Catch (possession), land on one foot, jump (up), land on two feet (and down). I realize it's legal b/c the pivot foot doesn't get established by landing on one foot. I think they should change the rule to eliminate the jump stop.
