This is a lot easier to demonstrate than describe, but, just to focus on the matter of taking 2 steps, which is not legal, what's generally happening is that the player is picking the ball up ON THE BACK FOOT, then stepping on to the front foot, then jumping off that foot on to a two footed landing. Violation.

This happens at full speed, of course. Sometimes I see it in a kind of gestalt way - just see the whole move and recognize it's non-standard nature, and sometimes - when I anticipate that the player will be making the move - I look specifically for the timing of when the ball is picked up.
Yes, it's much more difficult to describe than it is to demonstrate, but you did a pretty good job of it. Thanks.

You make a good point, in that if the ball is picked up later than it typically is on a layup type of shot attempt, then it could be legal. (I.e., one step then the jumpstop launch.)

It sounds like what you're saying is that if it looks like obvious traveling, it probably is. Thanks for your input.

Does anyone know where any video may be posted on the jump stop?

Gents,

Some of the answers and explainations in this tread are wrong or misleading. I've researched this rule in the NFHS book and the NCAA rulebook. Thankfully the NCAA rulebook has 'Jump stop' defined while the NFHS does not. They both use the same rules for travelling.

I've seen this rule miscalled many times in the past few years especially at the girls HS level. Girls are learning more complicated moves all the time.

There are several rules in the HFHS book that need to be understood.

Rule 4, section 15 Dribble, ART 4: Knowning when the dribble ends is important. If the dribble ends after the player jumps into the air they may land with both feet and still have a pivot.
Rule 4, section 43 Travel, ART 1 through 5:

If a player ends their dribble while one foot is on the ground and jumps into the air with that foot and lands with both feet, he may not pivot, but he can jump off one/both feet and shoot/pass as long as his feet/foot does not touch the ground before he releases the ball.

NCAA definition: I wish the HFHS would include this:

Section 42. Jump Stop.
Art. 1. A jump stop is executed when a player catches the ball while moving
or dribbling with:
a. One foot on the playing court, jumps off that foot and lands simultaneously
on both feet (no pivot foot).
b. Two feet off the playing court, lands on one foot, jumps off that foot
and lands simultaneously on both feet (no pivot foot).
Art. 2. A jump stop may also be executed when the dribbler has one foot on
the playing court, initiates a jump off that foot, ends the dribble with both
feet off the playing court and lands simultaneously on both feet (either foot
can be established as the pivot foot).
