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.

Not yet it's not. That's potato's point. The rest (hop) is covered despite the questions he keeps raising.

the pass discussion only talks about both feet needing to land together, it's not a travel if the player lands on his right foot only, but what if the player hops off his left foot & lands on the left foot only?

You can't determine if there's a pivot foot from at this point. The player's subsequent actions will determine whether or not there's a pivot foot.
