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.
