I disagree. I see it get called every time I see it happen. Around here, though, most players know better.
I do, however, also notice that most officials will give the benefit of the doubt to the player when it's unclear whether he gathered the dribble before or after he jumped.

Anyone who has officiated more than about 10 games should know this rule.
