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.
If you say to a coach "You can't pivot after a jump-stop" you would be wrong, or at least incomplete, as already discussed. The term jump stop is fully explained in the rule book. I'm not sure it's my problem if a coach isn't familiar with what the rule book says.
