Backcourt violation rule change? (over and back)

As always, your statement depends on the definition of "jump stop". If she jumped, caught the ball (ending her dribble) and landed on two feet -- one type of jump stop -- and then pivoted, that's perfectly legal.

A jump stop is defined by the rule book, it is not my definition or yours. If you mean something else, other than a jump stop, use another term. That is like says it depends on what you mean by a dribble.

I could be wrong but I do not think the term "jump stop" even appears in the fed book.

Take a look at fed 4-44-2, note the difference between a1 and b2.

Look at ncaa 4-44 for a much clearer version.

Then over the back is "defined by" the rule book also. It's when B1 jumps out of his circle of verticallity and pushes A1 from behind.

As Dan_ref pointed out, "jump stop" is not defined in the NFHS rulebook, although it does describe both types of jump stops in the traveling definition.

Some people (mostly coaches, in my experience) define a jump stop as: jump, catch, land on two feet simultaneously.

Other people (mostly officials, in my experience) define a jump stop as: jump, catch, land on one foot, jump, land on two feet simultaneously.

It's important to understand the distinction and to understand which definition a person is using.

My HS coach taught the jump stop as ending our dribble as we jumped off of one foot and then landed simultaneously on two. He never said anything about pivoting after that. I don't know if he knew the legality of that or not.
