I had the jump ball situation last night, green tipped OOB. White got the ball, and green got the arrow. I thought and thought about this during dead balls. Green had first possesion, the tip, and therefor white should get the arrow and the ball. I discussed this with my partner and he stated that green never had control of the ball. I did not press the issue. At half time I went to look this up and I found a couple of things, but the question is does the tip considered control. I now we were wrong, but I was not about to debate a rule I did not know inside and out.
