Jump Stop and the Pivot Foot

[bradriney]

I've been reading lots of the threads going back some time regarding jump stops, the pivot foot and traveling. Everyone has done a great job educating me on the specifics of traveling (NCAA and high school) so I don't have a question about the rules. What I do have a question about is a clarification to what appears to be "exceptions" to traveling with regards to establishing the pivot foot. And those are the parts of the NCAA definition relating to "jump stops".

Conceptually speaking, when executing these moves, is the established pivot foot actually being relocated, thus in reality creating a traveling violation or is there not a pivot foot established? Or is the parts of the rule relating to jump stops merely exceptions to what would be a travel because the pivot foot was relocated?

Hope my question is not too vague, it just appears the rules carve out certain exceptions for jump stop moves and I can't get my head around picturing the sequences and if there are pivots established or not.

In the case where a player jumps off a foot and lands on both feet, the player never had a pivot foot as the pivot foot is established when the second foot touches.

In the case where a player catches or ends his dribble with both feet on the floor and lands on two feet, there was no pivot foot either.

I haven't watched the video, so this comment is not directed towards this video specifically, but these videos are typically made by coaches. Coaches often do not understand the rules. Be careful.

And looking at the video I am not sure every situation was accurate. I would have to review it again, even if created by a poster.

Hey........... thats me, I would love for you to point out the situations that are incorrect, thats why I made this video to clarify the jump stop. I'm saying they are all correct. I love a good debate. Here is why I made the video because of calls like this

A father, not an official. I'd have to go back and watch again, but I don't recall it showing what he intended to show.
