If it were a true "jump-stop", then a pivot would be illegal. A true "jump-stop" is performed by gathering the ball while in the air, landing on one foot,

NFHS does not define "jump stop" (iirc).

NCAA defines it as either (or both) of the above.

So, either way, when a coach (or parent) asks, "Can a player pivot after a jump stop?" the answer should be, "It depends."

I was unaware that NCAA has a definition of the term. Most of the terms used in coaching, playing, officiating basketball have come about by assigning some name to an action that is defined in the rules, whether legal or illegal, a verbal reverse-engineering, if one will, drop-step, and jump-stop being examples.
Unfortunately, some of the self-appointed instructors on the internet assign names to actions that are poor and/or incomplete/incorrect use of existent terms.
