Lightbulb Interesting...

Hmmm, I must admit, I find the concept of the Possession Arrow interesting, but I'm not sure that I would want to play/coach/referee with it.

The main reason I say this is as a player, I have a reputation of being an excellent defender. In the rec league I play in I am considered to be reasonably tall (6'3") and have a respectable vert leap. This being the case, I often manage to tie up the offensive player, resulting in a jump ball. I would win somewhere around 80% of these, but as I understand it, with the PA I would only get the ball 50% of the time. Is this the case?

If the above is true, then aren't I being punished for being a good defender?

I look forward to your comments....
