I came across this site trying to find more information on the rules of basketball. I am a new official and I'm always trying to learn more about this awesome game! I cannot believe how much I did not know about the game, even when I played it for many years. I plan on using this forum a lot to learn more from others if you don't mind. I could ask you a hundred questions, but one will do for now.

On the opening tip, if one of the players jumping catches the ball, I know it is a violation, but who gets the next possession on a jump ball? I am guessing the team who did not catch the ball on the jump. Am I right? I want to make sure because this happened in a game recently and the other official I was working with did not know either. Thanks!
