I've seen it - but never seen it called

I try to make this call only when I'm certain that the player has controlled the ball, with both feet on the floor, and then re-positions both feet. I give a benefit of doubt regarding whether the player has control of the ball.

And I give a benefit of the doubt as to whether it's a jump stop (catch with one foot on the floor, hop off it and land on two feet simultaneously).

We may recall the father who posted the video of his daughter, who made a jumpstop to the rear, and the father said that it was called a travel. A clean jumpstop can catch an anxious official by surprise.

Curious if others see it this way: It seems to me that it used to be that the jump shooter got no benefit of the doubt on this, and now the shooter gets significant benefit of the doubt.

Put otherwise, it seems to me that what is permitted by the jump shooter in my son's games would have been called a travel
back when I played.
