Does he have a legal pivot foot

Does that make a difference?

Specifically, suppose A2 catches the ball with one foot on the floor, stands on that one foot for a couple of seconds, and then jumps off it and lands on two feet. Legal jump stop, or travel?

Legal jump stop.

No player would stand on one foot while waiting to receive a pass (exceptions: pass is in the air and player stumbles and regains balance just in time to catch pass, player has only one foot, coach calls for the "sleeping flamingo" play.)

I agree that it's unlikely at best, but what if it happened? Is it legal to catch the ball while on one foot but not moving or dribbling, then jump stop to two feet?

Yes, it is legal.

I see a lot of players receive a pass on two feet, take a hop, and shoot. Is that legal?

As long as it's coached both ways.

You're just ornery today, ain't 'ya?

Coach Bill, that is actually a POE in NCAA-W this year. A1 receives a pass, they take a little hop to back up off the 3-point line, then shoot. That is, and always has been a travel; we've just not called it like we should. Now they want us to call that move a travel.

Traveling is a point of emphisis
They never told us not to call it - they want us to get better at it,
they want us to be consistent and call traveling when the player travels.

Yeah, I'm out of tylenol, oxy, and vicadin. Last night I saw a short video that left me sick to my stomach.

On top of that, I strained so hard trying to read the eye chart this morning that I might go blind.
