When is A jump stop consider a travel?

[Coach Lou]

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

Thanks

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?

[Coach Lou]

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.

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.

Doesn't this make it a travel?

Fixed that part anyway. No charge.

So......picked up dribble, one step, simultaneous jump stop, can they then create a pivot foot out of this or are they frozen?

Neither. They can lift one or both feet (jump), but cannot put the foot/feet back down.

Assuming, of course, that by "one step" you mean "lands on one foot."

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

What caused you to ask this question?

[Coach Lou]

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?
