Does he have a legal pivot foot

[db]

A1 cuts off a high post screen and receives a pass from A2. Whe A1 receives the ball , he has only one foot on the floor. A1 jumps off the that is on the floor and lands simultaneously on both feetwhile holding the ball A1 may do what?
Pass, shoot, or call timeout, but may not step since he no longer has a legal pivot foot?????

Correct. This is what officials typically refer to as a "jump stop."

[just another ref]

Correct. He may not pivot. Either foot may be lifted but not returned to the floor before releasing a shot or pass. Neither foot may be lifted before starting a dribble.

Good article about this very situation on the "My Referee" section of the arbiter if you have access to it.

In the NCAA definition, a jump stop can only be executed if a player with one foot on the floor "catches the ball while moving or dribbling." Both the definition of jump stop and traveling in Rule 4 use this language. There is no language that I can find that addresses when a stationary player catches the ball with one foot on the floor. 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?
