2 man scrimmage. Instructor tailing me. 2nd year guy. Partner throws tip. It is batted overtop everybodies head, and 2 girls take off in pursuit, I follow. Just before the basket they both lung for the ball and both make contact at the same time and ball proceeds out of bounds.
I call jump ball and give it back to my partner for retoss.
My Instructor says, "No, you don't ever do that. If you don't know who touched it last pick one and get the game started."
Unless someone can give me an explanation, If it ever happens again, I am probably calling it the same way?? Feedback please.
Good call. If the ball goes off two people simultaneously and the arrow has not yet been set, it's a re-jump between the two players involved.

"Picking one" is, in my mind, cow patties. Giving the ball to one team over the other when they didn't earn it is unethical.
