There's a difference between a long stride and a jump.

Help me out. A jump is to have both feet off the floor at the same time, which fits the statement in 4-44-3b. ... when it refers to "... neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or a try for goal."

This is what I understand to be a "drop-step", and in the video, both feet are off the floor (jump), and then the left foot returns to the floor before the ball is released on a try, thus a travel call. This move, to be legal, must have the non-pivot foot in contact with the floor, before the pivot foot is lifted. Admittedly, it is sometimes missed, due to the speed of the move.
Are you saying the move at 1:27-1:49 is a travel? First off, in real time, I would have said she landed simultaneously on both feet after gathering the ball in the air. Slowed down, the player's right foot lands first, then the left foot, thus establishing the right foot as the pivot foot. She then steps with her left foot, picks up the pivot foot, and releases the ball before the pivot foot returns to the floor. Thus a legal move.

What's the confusion here?

I don't believe a jump is defined that broadly. Every layup ever shot involves steps that would fit your definition of a jump.

The context is established with the initial statement of4-44-3 . . . After coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot: - which the player does at the 1:27 mark. Then, having moved the left foot rearward, she jumps (both feet leaving the floor) and alights on the left foot, before releasing the ball.
I agree that in real time, this move is rarely called a travel. A completely clean - legal - drop-step would involve the non-pivot foot being in contact with the floor, before the pivot foot is lifted. Indeed, if that is the case, until the pivot foot touches again, it cannot be a travel.
Yes, on a normal drive to the basket, at a run, both feet are off the floor three times, without the action incurring a travel violation.
This entire sdcenario is not the main subject of the OP, in as much as a jump-stop is quite a different move.

In real time, and in slow motion, I don't have a travel.

If this is true then it seems like every layup in which the person is running would be a travel because I have heard it is impossible to run and have both feet touch at the same time. Try running and have both feet on floor at same time. Look at layup shown on video at around 1:05 , pivot foot is lifted before left heel touches.

My point is if the rules defined a jump the way you suggest, then a layup as normally performed is a travel. There's a difference between a step and a jump. It's a judgment call, but the rule doesn't require the drop step be performed as you say, it prohibits a player from hopping while keeping the pivot foot off the floor. Imagine an aborted jump shot where the player keeps it and lands on the non-pivot foot. Without this rule, that would be legal.

The difference is whether the ballhandler is moving, such as on a lay-up, or if she (4-44-3) "comes to a stop and establishes a pivot foot" and then, ..."jumps (leaves the floor with both feet, whether jumping off one or both feet). If she does jump, then (4-44-3-b.)"neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal."
As mentioned earlier, in real time, this move is many times not called as a travel violation, even though a clean, (legal) drop-step move involves the non-pivot foot being in touch with the floor before the pivot foot is lifted, or in other words, the legal move does not involve a jump to the non-pivot foot, before the ball is released.

You're reading way too much into the rule by adding your own definition of "jump." The reason it's not called a travel is it's not a jump.

+1

You're reading so much into the rule that you're confusing yourself into thinking this is illegal.

Sorry, to seem argumentive. The wording of 4-44-3b. seems simple enough. How else would one understand the word "jump", if not "After coming to a stop", and then leaving the floor, as in both feet off the floor, at the same time?

Obviously, in order to jump, both feet must leave the floor, but running steps do the same thing. To officiate it properly, you have to know the difference.

As for to what the rule refers, here:

Snaqs, I understand your point. From the outset, I agreed that the move, on the video, that I was addressing, is rarely called a travel, in real time. And, in fact, in slow motion, it's not clear-cut to be a travel. It's the only move on the video that is even near to something that I might think the officials in the games that this talented youngster is playing, may be called a travel. Every other move in the video, the true jump-stops, the jump-stops to the rear, the pivots, are not even suspect.
I just spent two hours going over some of the videos on the net that are presented as training aids for basketball moves. It's amazing how many guys have put stuff on the net, made up their own names for moves, and parts of moves, and at times don't even describe their video presentations congruously with the actions shown.
