So, basicly what your saying is that once a player loses their dribble, and say that there pivot foot is the left foot, he's able to jump or maybe even take a really big leap to the left or to the right of the defender and shoot off the other foot(non-pivot foot).
Here's what i mean. I lose my dribble, so im able to jump or leap backward say about 5 feet from the defender and land on my non-pivot foot, then shoot or pass the ball.

Not correct. When a player jumps (both feet off the floor) after establishing a pivot foot it is traveling when either foot returns to the floor.

However, you may "step" to the non-pivot foot. You may remain on that foot as long as you like an pass or shoot. You can move the non-pivot foot as much as you like if the pivot foot remains in place.

The distinction is between what is a step and what is a jump.
