I know if it is close to simultaneous we let it go. At the D1 level, it is getting to be a common move ... 1 through 5 are using the move with regularity and it seems to me that it is gettng a little sloppier as time goes on ... beginning to resemble the NBA.
The jump stop moves from D1 will trickle down to HS is no time, so we should nip it in the bud.
Anyone else notice this or am I just being a prude?

rpwall,
I don't think we, as officials, need the POE to make the correct judgement. Yes, the jump stop looks sloppy at times. Yes, the jump stop may be allowed if it is close.
Yet, it's our job to make it allowed when it is legal.
Adding a few paragraphs in the book, or not, shouldn't be the guiding lines as to whether we will call the action rightly, or wrongly.
