i got abit confused with the jumpstop discussion.

So in the 4th case, a player can actually pick up his dribble with 1 foot on the floor, does a few pump fakes for few seconds, and do a jumpstop (with no pivot). Due to the fact no pivot foot can be achieved if the other foot doesn't touch the floor. But i have yet seen players do this, is there a video about this? Awkward but legal.

also if the player wanted to do a jumpstop by catching the ball with 1 foot on the floor & jumps off that foot, and lands on the same 1 foot, has the player established a pivot or we have to wait till his 2nd foot touches the ground based on your reply on no.1 where the 2nd foot needs to land in order to make the 1st foot pivot.

2. Correct

3. Correct with my addition

4. Based on the correction in 1, which foot do you think is the pivot? Note that "stopping for a while" is of no consequence here -- as you've already asked and been told. And, how the F does a player catch the ball "with 1 foot touching the ground simultaneously?"

Just like with your previous posts on this subject, you are making it way harder than it is.

Unless I'm missing something, this is exactly the same question you asked on another thread within the past couple of days.

And, no player would do this on purpose.

Again with a true jump stop, there is never a pivot foot established nor can their be. Yes you could catch the ball standing on one leg then jump off of the foot that is not a pivot foot, and land simultaneously without a violation but you cant pivot after that. You can then lift either or both feet but neither can return to the floor as this is a travelling violation.

That depends on what you mean by "true jump stop" -- remember jump stop is not defined in FED; it's defined in two ways in NCAA (one allowing a pivot; one not); and coaches (tend) to use the term differently than officials (tend) to use the term.

Valid point, I am referring to gather on one foot, jump off of that foot and land simultaneously on both feet in NFHS rule set.

Bob's point is that it's not so narrowly defined in the book.

If a player ends his dribble by catching the ball with 1 foot on his floor (left foot), and does a tiny hop on that foot & lands on the same foot instead of the other (never touched the floor after the end of dribble), would a pivot foot be determined? if he is allowed to, which foot is his pivot?

That's the pivot foot.

Unless he is a wizard, this hop has caused him to pick up his pivot foot.
