Jump stop

[dsimp8]

What is the definition of a jump stop? My interpretation is that Player A can leap from one spot to the other provided he lands on both feet simultaneously. If he leaps in the air and his left foot hits before his right foot,that's a travel,correct?

How many times would this be allowed?

It's a lot more complicated than that. A player can't just jump and land and it be considered a jumpstop.

4-44-2
A player, who catches the ball while moving or dribbling, may stop, and establish a pivot foot as follows:

a.If both feet are off the floor and the player lands:

1. Simultaneously on both feet, either foot may be the pivot.
2. On one foot followed by the other, the first foot to touch is the pivot.
3. On one foot, the player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. Neither foot can be a pivot in this case.

b. If one foot is on the floor:

1. It is the pivot when the other foot touches in a step.
2. The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. Neither foot can be a pivot in this case.

If Officiating.com allows one to be posted, I'll volunteer to be part of the project to put it together. This would help tremendously.

Probably need 8 to 10 people to sift through the old posts and the moderators to edit.
