in your thread you made a very accurate description of what may be one of the most difficult calls (traveling)for a young official to master. to me it was a matter of recognizing when there is a pivot foot established. i have worked with official(s) that have given explainations to a travel call as "you can not pivot out of a jump stop" I 100% disagree. i have been taught, and coached, the old 1: JUMP STOP, 2: PIVOT, 3: PASS. When taught correctly this certainly is a legal move.

Don't forget, there are two different moves that are called jump stops. They have several important differences, the biggest one being that one is legal, and one isn't. Officials that plan to move up need to learn them both very well, and learn how to explain to players and coaches why one was called and the other wasn't.
