6-4-3 Note: "If the alternating-possession procedure has not been established, the jump ball shall be between the two players involved in the center restraining circle."

JUMP BALL TO START THE GAME
6.4.1 SITUATION C: Following the jump between A1 and B1 to start the first quarter, the jump ball: (a) is touched by A2 and it then goes out of bounds; (b) is touched simultaneously by A2 and B2 and it then goes out of bounds; (c) is simultaneously controlled by A2 and B2; or (d) is caught by A1. RULING: In (a), Team B will have a throw-in. The alternating-possession procedure is established and the arrow is set toward A's basket when a player of Team B has the ball for the throw-in. Team A will have the first opportunity to throw-in when the procedure is used. In (b) and (c), A2 and B2 will jump in the center restraining circle regardless of where the ball went out or where the held ball occurred. In (d), Team B will have a throw-in because of the violation and the arrow for the alternating-possession will be pointed towards Team A's basket. (4-12-1; 4-28-1)
OK, what if B2 is injured? 8-2 only allows subs for an injured free throw shooter--jumper is not mentioned. If this ever happened in my game I'll allow the sub-and make sure the coach knows that B2 better be really injured and not playing again today.--But I don't see my interpretation allowed by the book. The alternative is to go straight by the book as I read it and force the injured player to do the jump ball.
