When is A jump stop consider a travel?

[BktBallRef]

The one I see missed most often is the player that jumps off TWO feet, and then lands on both feet. "That's a jump stop!"

No, that's traveling.

If the ball is gathered while both feet are in the air, the player may land simultaneously and may pivot with either foot.

Finally, if a player gathers the ball with both feet in the air, lands on one foot...then lands simultaneously on both feet, he MAY NOT pivot at this point.

And here is a guy who made a video and finally is going to "clear the air" about pivoting after a jump stop. As Lee Corso states "not so fast my friend"




However I would never call this a travel, I can never tell if he gathers with one foot on floor or gathers with both feet off the floor. If in doubt don't blow the whistle. This would never be called a travel by high level officials

The rule book clears the air about pivoting after a jump stop.
