Care to explain why it matters that the term is there?

Care to explain why a one foot to two feet landing is different than a no feet to two feet landing and thus needs a different term?

Care to explain why the term jump stop has anything to do with the travel rules?

Care to explain whatinthehell difference it really makes whatever they call it?

Forget about a damn "jump stop" and learn rule 4-44-2. That make the usage of the terminology "jump stop" irrelevant.

Lah me......

Only to clarify that there is no "rulebook" definition of the term. Therefore neither my definition nor yours can be considered totally wrong. I thought my interpretation, which was seconded by ref in Pa, was the one recognized by "everybody." (or at least the vast majority) If this is not the case I stand corrected.

You can pivot after one but not the other.

Because players soooooo often are guilty of a traveling violation when they perform what they consider to be a "legal jump stop." I actually think we would be better off if the term would disappear, along with others we could name.
