In NCAA and NFHS, the first foot down is automatically the pivot foot when the other foot touches the floor. In the NBA, the first foot down may or may not be the pivot foot depending on where the 2nd foot touches....2nd in front of the first, the first is the pivot. The 2nd not in front of the first, either may be the pivot. The NBA rule: The interesting elements are highlighted. In (d), the same NCAA/NFHS player can only pivot on the first foot down, they don't have a choice. In (e), an NBA player may, after completing a jump stop, still pivot where the same move in the NCAA or NFHS is a travel.

You're C, D, and E are not in the NBA rule book. The rule book reads verbatim: The first count occurs: (1) As he receives the ball, if either foot is touching the floor at the time he receives it. (2) As the foot touches the floor, or as both feet touch the floor simultaneously after he receives the ball, if both feet are off the floor when he receives it. The second count occurs: (1) After the count of one when either foot touches the floor, or both feet touches the floor simultaneously. A player who comes to a stop on the count of one when both feet are on the floor or touch the floor simultaneously, may pivot using either foot as his pivot. If he alights with both feet he must release the ball before either foot touches the floor. A player who has one foot on the floor or lands with one foot first to the floor, may only pivot with that foot. Once that foot is lifted from the floor it may not return until the ball is released. A player who jumps off one foot on the count of one may land with both feet simultaneously for count two. In this situation, the player may not pivot with either foot and if one or both feet leave the floor the ball must be released before either returns to the floor. That is from the '06-'07 rule book. It sounds to me alot like the high school and college rule book, but in more detail. In my interpretation of the high school and college rule book you can still have a pivot on a jump stop it just depends on when you gather the ball. If you gather it while one foot is on the ground then you have to land with both simultaneously and you have no pivot. If you gather in mid-air, then you can land simultaneously and have a pivot or you can land with one foot followed by the other because, while you haven't gathered until you were in the air, you have not established a pivot foot. |

And I'm not doubting you, but the rule you quoted is not the rule as it appears on the NBA.com website. I realize that updating the online rulebook is not the NBA's #1 priority, but it differs from what you've posted above. |

No, the fact of the matter is that if you look at how the rules are interpreted and called, not just the writing of the rule book itself, they are much different, and saying they're the same does a disservice to officiating at all levels. |
