In my game last night I had a 5'8" player challenge a shot of a 6'4" player that had the ball over their head and then jumped.

Contact on elbow and all I hear is, "ALL BALL!"

The kid could not have reached the ball with a trampoline.
Hmmm, I had a kid in a game once with a step-ladder. Had a note from the state and everything. But never a trampoline
