Never? While inbounding the ball? Perhaps while holding the ball before a free throw attempt? Sorry Scrapper1, that is my smart-aleck side coming out.

I know what you meant Scrapper1, but there is a certain pleasure in nit-picking.

You misspelled perverse.

I know you're nit-picking, Sam, but you're actually making a terrific point. How about this version:

It's never legal to jump from one foot onto the same foot while holding a live ball inbounds; except when attempting a free throw.

Does that seem right?

Even if you catch the ball in the air, land on one foot and then jump and simultaneously land with both feet after the jump?

Um, if do that, then you're not jumping from one foot onto the same foot, are you? You're landing on two feet, not one.

Yup but you're also still jumping from one foot onto the same foot as part of that 2-foot landing, aren't you?

Semantics only...I'm sureasheck aware that you know the correct rules.
