Jump stop

Very simple, with a one count jump stop you land on two feet at the same time and you have a pivot still available. A two count jump stop you land on two feet at the same time and dont have a piviot foot available. In your question you thought #2 may reefer to landing on one foot followed by the other, that would be a stride stop, not a jump stop. We could open a whole new can of worms describing the legal footwork allowed after a stride stop depending of course when the and how the ball was gathered but.....

as far as stats none, just personal experience watching high school games in LA. Even with clear knowledge of the rules it can be a tough call because the game moves so fast.

This one's easy and simple. First foot down after the ball is gathered is the pivot. Now, see pivot rules for traveling.

1) I hate to tell you this, pitchfork, but that statement makes absolutely zero sense. Both cases that you cited are the exact same--->in both, the player is landing on both feet at the same time. But......in one, you say that the player has a pivot foot, but they don't have one in the other. Again, the rules, both NCAA and NFHS, are very explicit. If you land on both feet simultaneously, you can pivot on either foot.

2) Again, what can of worms? This play is also covered very explicitly under both NCAA and NFHS rules. The first foot that the player lands on is always the pivot foot.

Both of those calls are easy, as long as an official reads and understands the rules. A good official will have no problems at all with them. Those rules haven't changed in the last 50 years either, no matter what some people might want to call them.
