Jump stop vs "up and down"

It doesn't matter "why" the player jumped. The only things that matter are:

1. the fact that they caught the ball with only one foot on the floor
2. the fact that they jumped off of that foot without the other foot touching
3. the fact that they landed on both feet simultaneously

Having jumped off of one foot after catching the ball, no pivot has been established (defined in Articles 1 and 2). As such, Articles 3 and 4 do not apply...they are only relevant once the pivot is established.

Camron, the above isn't applicable. The original post said that the dribble had ended. After the dribble ended, the player then jumped to shoot. You're talking above about the dribble not having ended. That's 2 completely different situations.

You can END a dribble with a jump stop. But if you do a jump stop AFTER a dribble has ended, you're traveling.

That's where all the confusion is coming in this thread.
