Opening tip of a girls JV tournament game. Jumpers tap the ball to a Home player who fumbles the ball. V jumper and H player tie up the ball for a jump ball. After a "what the heck do we do now" moment, I quickly "Google" my internal case book and come up with the answer. The two players involved in the tie up are my new jumpers. Of course, it had to be the V jumper and the shortest player on the floor from the Home team. Imagine the H player's surprise when I tell her that she now has to participate in the jump ball. We all shared a few chuckles and then by way of Murphy's law the new tap went to the Home team.
whistleone,
So..., you are saying that after H fumbled, neither team had even momentary control, but that V-jumper and H-little grabbed the loose ball simlutaneously.

Very hard to imagine that one player did not have the ball for some miniscule time before the other player tied her up.
