Here's something from the NFHS Case Book that might be helpful. (From Pg. 41, 6.3.1C "Jump ball to start the game") Play: Following the jump between A1 and B1 to start the first quarter, the jump ball is touched by A2 and it then goes out of bounds. Ruling: Team B will have a throw-in. The alternating-possession procedure is established and the arrow is set toward's A's basket when a player of Team B is handed the ball for the throw-in. So, if I understand this correctly, even though the control was momentary on A2's part, it was enough to establish control. Does this relate to your situation? Here's another question for anyone out there...I'm a rookie (1st year) official...Is there ever errors in the Case Book? Just wondering.
