Typically we ask “travel or nah” but figured we’d better break this one down.

Using a jump stop can definitely give an offensive player a significant advantage because they haven’t chosen their pivot foot yet. As you can see in the clip, you can cover a ton of space.

In the 1st clip, the after the jump stop, he takes a step with his LEFT foot, therefore establishing the RIGHT foot as the pivot. He then LIFTS his right pivot foot to attempt the shot and it doesn’t come back down until after the shot is released. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💯" title="Hundert Punkte Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Hundert Punkte Symbol">% legal.

In the 2nd clip, it’s the exact opposite. After the jump stop, he takes a step with his RIGHT foot, therefore establishing his LEFT foot as the pivot. He then LIFTS his left pivot foot to attempt the shot and it doesn’t come back down until after the shot is released. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💯" title="Hundert Punkte Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Hundert Punkte Symbol">% legal.

The biggest misconception is that you CANNOT lift your pivot foot. However, the rule book is pretty clear: NFHS Rule 4, Section 44, Art 3:

“The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal.”
