[Clark Kent]

On the opening tip A1 jumps up and catches the jump ball. By so doing he/she gains possession but according to 9-3-7c he/she commits a violation.

So would the alternating possession be awarded to team B (because A secured the jump ball) and then a violation would also be called and B would basically start with the ball and get the next held ball or would team A get the alternating possession even though they gained possession, but by so doing caused a violation?

Any references to clarify would be great!

Thanks
