Jumpers can face any direction they want to, as long as they have both feet in the semi-circle that is farther from their basket.

NOTE: During a jump ball, a jumper is not required to face his/her own basket, provided he/she is in the proper half of the center restraining circle. The jumper is also not required to jump and attempt to touch the tossed ball. However, if neither jumper touches the ball it should be tossed again with both jumpers being ordered to jump and try to touch the ball. FED 6-4-7 NOTE
