Jump stop

[Johnny Ringo]

The jump stop...while driving to the basket, the player picks up dribble (both feet in the air) while coming to a jump stop ... what can they do from the point they land?

[Jurassic Referee]

NFHS rule 4-44-2(a).

Pivot? Not with "rule book" definition of a jump stop.

Hmm, thats right. If you leave off of one foot and land on two, then you can not pivot. If you leave off one foot and land one foot, second foot. That is a travel. So like I said said, pass or shot.

Look at the original post. The player gathers the ball while both feet are in the air. If he/she lands with both feet hitting the ground at the same time, then either foot could be the pivot.
If the post had said the player gathers the ball with one foot on the ground then jumped off that foot and landed with both feet hitting the ground at the same time..... That is the other 'Jump Stop'. There is no pivot foot in that situation.

Thanks Zoochy! You seem to have understood and and givenn me the clarification needed. I see this called wrong a lot and I was certain of what could be done or not done and I can tell by the answers here that it is just as confusing as actually seeing it for many officials

Player is driving to basket ... while still dribbling, jumps, gathers the ball (with two hands) and comes to a jump stop ... from here the player can pivot (or pass or shoot) and there has been no violation.

You really should read the OP and the rule book again.

Both those are true, except neither of those happened in the OP.

The player in the OP may pivot.

We don't know what happened in the OP. The OP only said he came to a jump stop.
If he came to a jump stop per:
4-42-a
art 1: may pivot
art 2: may pivot
art 3: not pivot

My goof was refering to a definition of a jump stop in the rules when there is none.

ya but, both feet in the air means nothing....it's how he lands that determines whether art 1,2 or 3 applies. The OP only defined the landing as a "jump stop".
Am I missing something or ya just messin' with me now?
