Travel or Not?

If I am dribbling the ball and then take jump stop am I allowed to use my pivot foot? Is this a travel or not?

Not enough information to say. What do you mean by the term "jump stop"? When did you gather the ball ?

And what do you mean by "use the pivot foot"?

If you catch the ball in the air and land on two feet, you may pivot.

If you catch the ball in the air and land on foot, you may then jump off that foot and land simultaneously on two feet. But then you may not pivot.

Hope that helps.

gshade03 was dribbling, not catching.

Maybe he was doing both? Dribbling, then catching/gathering?

If that's the case, we need to know exactly when one stopped and the other occured.

If he was dribbling the whole time, jump stops and pivot feet would not apply, right?

If he's dribbling, he can pivot all he wants and his question is irrelevant. I'm assuming that at some point he's going to pick up his dribble (i.e., catch the ball).

i have received the ball, then i began to dribble towards the lane. I take a jump stop at the foul line, pick up the ball and both of my feet hit the floor at the same time. Can i then pivot (like keep one foot on the ground and turn to pass the ball to the wing)?

If you have completed a legal jump stop by landing simultaneously on both feet, you have no pivot foot. You may lift either foot but you must pass or dribble before returning the lifted foot to the floor. Lifting and returning the foot before passing or dribbling is a travel violation.

the prior post should have noted pass or shoot rather than pass or dribble.

It still depends on your definition of "jump stop". I'm assuming you mean that you jump and land on both feet. But I can't tell where in that process your dribble ends. Did you jump, land on both feet and then pick up the ball and then both feet hit the floor at the same time?? I'm confused...

Let me try this again. It's not hard.

If you end your dribble by catching the ball in the air and then land on two feet, you may pivot.

If you end your dribble by catching the ball in the air and land on one foot, you may then jump off that foot and land simultaneously on two feet. But then you may not pivot.
