Traveling?

There are two ways a true jump stop happens:

(1) The player is in the air when he gathers the ball. He then lands on one foot. He jumps off that foot and lands on both feet simultaneously. For example, he lands on his right foot, jumps off it and lands with both feet.

(2) The player gathers the ball with one foot on the ground. He then jumps off that foot and lands on both feet simultaneously. For example, he is standing on his left foot when he catches the ball, jumps off it and lands on both feet simultaneously.

I hope this is clear (as mud).

Agreed. Note however that coaches / players and the NCAA also include "Gathering the ball in the air and landing on both feet simultaneously" as a Jump Stop. In this case, either foot can be the pivot foot.
