But we also need to keep in mind that regardless of what we all agree on, there is another group of people out there who are also very confused about the meanings. If we can describe these different maneuvers in ways that don't include the words "jump" and "stop", we will have a much easier time communicating with players, coaches and parents. I know they don't matter, in one way, but we also need to do what we can to keep from throwing gas on the fire. If I say to a coach, "You can't pivot after a jump-stop" he may not hear the correct information, regardless of what I meant. So I propose to completely throw out the phrase, "jump stop" and not bother using it at all. It hurts more than it helps.
