Travel. Dribble ends while player's left foot is in contact with the court (making it the pivot foot), then alights off the pivot foot. At this point, for a jump stop to be legal, the player must return to the court with both feet simultaneously. Instead, the right foot lands in a step, followed by the pivot foot returning to the court before the player releases on the try for goal.

This is actually easier to call on the court than many will think. Both feet landing simultaneously in a legal jump stop is almost always followed by a pause while the player looks for someone to pass to, or an immediate jump shot. This was not the case here, so if it was noted when the dribble ended, the travel call is easy.

This is true. That happened first. Was that one of the multiple choice answers from the OP?

The OP was not a multiple choice question.

It was "Tell me why or why not this is a travel?"

So, I did.

Block prior to the travel.

Agree.....block. If it were not for the block, she may have been able to complete a proper jump stop....but we'll never know.

Block...in NCAA-Men's that would be a common foul, not shooting, because of the upward motion facet of the rule set.

Ignoring that, question. Since most all agree there was a block, what about the fact that her pivot foot came back down before releasing the shot? Are we counting the basket and ignoring the travel?

Nope. I would not even have her in the act of shooting at the time of the block. A player coming down on a jump stop is not yet in the act of shooting IMO.
