As a newly retired official after 19 years, here is the rule: if the pivot foot (the foot on the ground when the pass is caught or dribble ends) is replanted before a shot or pass is made or a dribble begins, it is a travel. Here is the application: provided the offensive player does not increase his distance from the defender to create a clearer shooting/passing lane a travel USUALLY isn't called. Remember, it isn't a violation unless the official blows the whistle. My reference is I believe in Rule 7 of the Federation (high school) rulebook. (I am not looking at the time of this writing.
PS -- I hate the jump stop!

What you describe is a travel, but after you discontinue youre dribble you can jump stop then rise up and shoot. Also while in motion you get two steps going to the basket for a layup or a pass off.

The rule by the book is any steps more than a 1 & a half. Most if not all Refs allow 2 steps, but your best bet is to take them after dribbling for a driving shot. You more than likely will be called for a violation if you pick up your dribble....wait for 2or more seconds then try to take your steps.... by the rules if you take 1 & a half it is suppose to be legal but it probably will be called because it doesn't look right!

the two steps is while in motion toward the basket. if you are running at a constant speed, stop dribbling (still running), and take two or less steps before releasing the ball, you are not in violation. you are only in violation if you have stopped dribbling and have stopped moving completely, then you may only pivot with one foot, otherwise it is traveling.

"In basketball, traveling is a violation of the rules that occurs when a player holding the ball illegally moves one or both of his feet. Most commonly, a player travels by illegally moving his pivot foot or taking too many steps without dribbling the ball."

Like if a participant had the ball and the took more desirable than 2 steps without dribbling then it really is a shuttle. in case you watch the game 2nite Mavericks vs. warmth then you may watch Dirk Nowitzki shuttle/ double dribble
