This is what I have been saying for years. FIBA and NBA/WNBA do it correctly. Jump balls for all held ball and situations where a jump ball is required.

Mark, it is not often that you and I agree - but on this one I certainly do. The AP is one of the main reasons that I am glad that I don't referee in the USA. (plus the fact that it is too far to travel
)
