When is A jump stop consider a travel?

If the dribbler jump stops 5ft from where he picked up his dribble, is that a travel?

Thanks

Coach Lou

It depends if he legally executed the jump stop or not. There is not specific distance that constitutes a travel.

Dribbler picks up dribble jumps off 1 foot, must land simultaneously on both feet, can use either foot as pivot, but what can happen is they will land with one foot hitting before the other and then take a step to shoot or pass which is a travel. Distance on jump is inconsequential, IMO.

Are you sure?

Doesn't this make it a travel?

If the I read the rule correctly:

The distance is not an issue.

How high the player jumps is not an issue.

But, the player MAY NOT pivot.

Correct?

My bad, he can lift either foot to shoot or pass after he lands simultaneously on both feet.

That's one of the more interesting concepts I've ever seen proposed in the forum.

What caused you to ask this question?

The first two parts are correct.

The second depends on what you mean by "jump stop". I don't think the term is specifically defined in NFHS rules, and it's generally used to refer to two different scenarios. Under one the player can pivot, under the other the player cannot pivot.

So, you'll need to be more specific about exactly what transpired.

Honestly, I hesitate a lot before making this call. I like to be 100 percent sure that the player traveled.

On that note, more and more players jump stop now a days (in my area anyways) and some officials tend to call it a travel very quickly.

I coach and official. I like to make sure I have my proper arguments for both situations.

Thanks

Sorry, when I say "jump stop" I'm referring to:
Dribbler picks up dribble jumps off 1 foot and lands simultaneously on both feet. So, does the distance he travels in the air play a part on wether it's a violation or not?

A legitimate "jump stop" is not a travel. Distance is irrelevant.

Distance never matters.

In the play you describe, the player cannot pivot. If the feet don't land simultaneously, the play is a travel (some small allowance on simultaneously is ofen made).

In the play where the player gathers the ball in the air, then lands on both feet, either can be the pivot. If one foot lands first, that foot is the pivot.

Sometimes it can be very difficult to tell the difference between play 1 and play 2, especially if the player is "gathering" just as the player is leaving the gound.

Whether you mean jump stop:

A) The player gathers the ball on 1 foot and hops to land on two.

B) Player hops and gathers the ball to land on two.

The distance travelled in the hop is irrelevant it just makes it a tougher move to defend (because of the correlation to the agility and athleticism needed to execute it legally).

Without getting back into it, I think this board has discussed many times the difficulties and inconsistencies in travel calls.
