That's a jump stop. The player can then lift either or both feet to shoot or pass, but if one of the lifted feet then touches the floor again before the ball is released it is a travel.

If you saw my previous uninformed post on the jump stop, please disregard it. A "jump stop" is when a player lands on both feet simultaneously. Whether or not the player can pivot is determined by what his action was when the dribble ended prior to landing. For a good explanation, see the NCAA February, 2004 Men's Basketball Officiating update at:
http://www.ncaa.org/champadmin/baske...202update.html
Although this is an NCAA guideline, I think the explanation is clearer than anything else I've seen on the jump stop technique and how the official should determine whether or not a violation has occurred.
