The dribble is picked up and then the player jumps. The player does not jump and continue to bounce the ball on the court while in the air.

Yes you have...any time a player is speed dribbling, he's temporarily airborne. And the majority of jump stops that I see players execute is the one where they end the dribble while both feet are off the floor.
