Occasionally I see this with a three point shooter. Catch, dribble, jump stop (sometimes backwards), shot.

If you're not moving, you've already stopped.

So are you saying this would be illegal?

Nope. I'm saying if you're not moving, you've already stopped.

When is movement complete? I tend to lean towards the thinking that standing on one foot is not a stable ending position.....the movement is not complete. It may be very, very slow, but not yet complete.

I'm just saying it maybe legal by rule but calling it a "jump stop" is probably not the most accurate way to describe it.
