Correct.

However, the term as used by many coaches, players and fans has a broader meaning, so my caveat about defining the term remains.

Bob, shouldn't the caveat be reserved for those that use the term improperly? Don't we gradually see a far bigger mess and overall confusion when we allow terms to get away from their definition?

Except....

This term is not actually defined. It is merely referenced in the process of describing a move in the traveling definition.

That doesn't exclude other valid meanings.

The definition of traveling (or not)...not the definition of a jump stop.

It says that it is not traveling when a player executes a jump stop as described. It doesn't say anything one way or the other about that being the only kind of jump stop.

Agreed.

I posted the NCAA definition of "jump stop" given in the NCAA rules book.
I believe that Camron is making the point that the NFHS does not have such a definition in any of its publications.
