"What time is tipoff?" Keep the jump ball start for tradition's sake.
I am a big fan of only dead ball TO requests by the coach. The kids know the coach's voice from practice. They show be able to signal the request to the officials. But no live ball TO requests? No. The ball is live at the disposal of the thrower-in and often requests will come late in the count. Same thing with pressure in the backcourt.
Make delay entering the court after a throw-in a violation instead of a technical foul.
