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....

Oz Ref,
Yeah, you are not getting your full reward as was avsailable in the "old NFHS rule", but try the shoe on the other foot. If your opponents can outplay your other 4 teammates you are now in a preferred position.
I await a rule to award the ball to the defense.
