Is the jump ball ignored, AP switched or is there a specific case book situation?
And to follow along the semantic correction lines of BadNews and MarkD, in situations like this, replace the work "jump" with "HELD." At my association meeting last night, multiple situations of various combinations of throw-ins, jump balls (the actual jump ball kind), alternating possession, and held balls were discussed, and each lasted about 3-5 minutes longer than it should have because people kept using improper terminology, leading to confusion on what was actually being talked about.

Held ball, lodged ball, and jump ball are three different things.

(And deeeeeep breath.)

Rant off.
