pivot after jump stop

[potato]

Now there's 2 jumpstops:

1.Catch the ball in the air after the jump & lands both feet simultaneously = pivot allowed.

2.Catch the ball with one foot on the ground & jumps off that foot & land on both feet = pivot not allowed.

so isn't the 2nd case considered pivot foot established before the jump?

The rule does NOT say you can jump off your pivot foot and land on both feet. You can jump if the one foot is not yet the pivot foot, but you must either land with both feet simultaneously (neither foot can be the pivot) or land on the other foot alone (which makes the first foot the pivot foot). This is nothing different from the steps in a lay-up. If the (now-determined) pivot foot touches the floor, it's travelling.




Awkward <> illegal.
