Am I correct?

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.

His original post was no more stupid than the way you questioned him. He's playing semantics, nothing more. no point, nothing.
So to make it more stupid.
He's right, landing on two feet includes landing on the original foot, just like dribbling with two hands includes dribbling with the original hand.
Oddly (or not) the rules are opposite for the two situations, in that landing on the one foot after jumping from it is illegal, while dribbling with two hands following a dribble.

You're right. I was out of line. My apologies to everybody.

I really thought he might have been setting up to point out something more subtle about the wording of the rule.

I was just playing along.

Agree. Just wanted readers to be aware of the strict wording of NFHS R4-44-2(a3) and 4-44-2(b2). I know that Scappy is.

And I deleted my response to JAR above.
