jump-stop explanation

After re-reading TH's post, I think I see where the confusion lies. It was my understanding that the term "jump stop" referred ONLY to the maneuver described in #3 above. But from reading the last sentence quoted above, it seems that others are using the term "jump stop" to refer to any time a player in possession of the ball comes to a stop after jumping; which, I have to admit, makes some sense.

Am I right about this difference in usage? Or am I still totally missing what everybody else is seeing?

Right! 4-43-2a describes one type of jump stop and 4-43-2b describes the other type of jump stop.

BTW, I thought there was only one type of jump stop until someone on this baord straighten me out a year or so ago.

The 0 for 2 comment was based on this play and the mascot that you were going to eject for beating up the scorpion at halftime. Just yanking your chain!
