JV official called a jump ball during a follow-up tap attempt after a fast break with about 10 seconds left in a 2-point game. No one even questioned him. I asked him about it after the game. Said he saw the ball spin off of the tapper's hand and knew he had to call a jump. Perhaps it was because he wasn't even to the division line yet as he transitioned from lead to trail. If anyone, especially a coach, had known what he was calling, they would have shot him right there, drug him off the court, and finished the game with one official.
Actually we quit shooting officials a few years back here in Idaho.

Help me out -- I can't even figure out what he thought he was calling . . .
