Must be a regional thing. I see them done a lot here, and done correctly, and not called. I also see them done incorrectly (both feet do not come down at the same time, or player pivots after stopping) and the coach can't figure out why we called it a travel.

It must be, because we have a lot of players that have a realistic chance to get to the NBA (many just at the D1 level) and players that are from the inner-city schools try jump stops a lot. But certain officials not from those areas call traveling all the time. There are even some girls that try the move and it is called incorrectly so often that it is useless to try. I agree that some players do not complete the move correctly, but what difference does it make when you are calling all attempts at jump stops traveling?

Peace
