This is not a situation regarding continuation, since a foul is not involved with my play. I still say "Yes. A player could shoot the ball on the way down to a jump stop", but, again, I don't know a lot about NCAA rules.
Camron Rust states that he's never seen this. I believe him. But it can happen, I've seen it, and I believe that it would be legal.

The two plays just don't look the same. Double pumping to avoid a potential blocked shot looks completely different. In a jump stop play, the player will pretty obviously not be trying to shoot the ball before going back up vs. the double pump shooter. Plus, most jump shooters will have already exceeded the foot movements that would allow them to jump stop so shooting is really the only option on those plays.
