A lot you are asking here. That depends on what you call a jump stop. But if you jump complete a legal jump stop after a dribble being stopped, then yes you cannot use a pivot foot. If you are talking about catching the ball in the air, the first foot or both foot may be used if the right things take place.



You cannot roll over while on the floor. It is not a matter of length or timing. But of course you must have possession of the ball. And rolling over would not be by many considered simply turning.



Peace
For the first question I asked that wrong. If the inbounder steps on the (out of bounds) line and then throws the ball in is this legal? What about stepping completely over the inbounds line and throwing it in?
Thanks for the help.

On the line is legal...if any portion of the foot is touching inbounds, violation.

If a players in bounds is dribbling the ball and steps on the OOB line then what is that?

So if on an inbounds play the inbounder steps on the line what do you have? You can't have it both ways and have the line be both inbounds AND out of bounds. It's one or the other.

It's out of bounds. No one has said differently. The entirety of the line is out of bounds.

Keep in mind many out of bound lines can be rather big and it would make little sense if that line was illegal to step on. Others answered the question properly, but I wanted to make it clear that those lines could be bigger than the minimum requirement the rules allow.

Peace
