FOr those of us who can remember, the AP was brought in because the officials could not throw the ball perpendicular and straight. Many jump balls were called back because of the officials not being able to throw the ball correctly.
Admittedly, I like the rule for JV and under. Varstiy - I am okay with it. But the jump ball should be brought back in college.
I went to a camp one year. One of the supervisor's had a 1/2 hour class on hour to throw the ball up correctly. I have had no problems since. We don't practice throwing the ball up as a whole profession. I practice at the gym. I take a weighted ball and practice my throws.
