The reason is we're starting this game on a good note, good toss, good jump, etc. What you need to consider is the objective of the jump ball which is to hit the ball at it highest point. If this can't be done, you got guys swinging at it on the way down, just like you said, a mess, and it looks bad and it also looks like you don't know what you are not doing if you're not calling it.
2) If I'm critiquing you as an assigner/clinician and U1 and U2 don't blow their whistle to retoss. I'm taking points off for that and I'm also going to assume you don't know what you are doing. On the other hand, if you do blow your whistle, it swings completely the other way. I'm going to assume that this guy knows his stuff and yes, I'm impressed! Hope that helps.

1) I hate to break it to you, Old One, but the objective is to hit the ball
AFTER it reaches it highest point and it
IS on the way down. Sez so right in the rules--specifically rule 6-3-6. It's been the same rule since the days of the peachbasket too. Of course, you wouldn't know that, would you? As we've determined many times in the past, you aren't an official, have never been an official and you don't own a rule or case book. Care to cite that rule for us
verbatim from your rule book?
2) Fanboys and trolls don't get a chance to critique officials, except to other fanboys and trolls.
I hate to admit it, but you're not even a good troll anymore either. What you post is so completely wrong rules-wise and also so patently stoopid that even the newbies here know enough to not take you seriously.
Why don't you try the Baseball forum again? You've already been laughed off of it once, but maybe they've forgotten you by now.
Naw, on second thought, fuggedaboutit. Back to McGriffs where you belong. Shoo, shoo......
