You could also check the websites of the high schools, I'll bet they have times noted for the varsity tip off.

I've not had any varsity contract in my new state so I don't know what the varsity officials get. All of the times I've checked a schools web site to double check start times, the list the varsity game with the JV start time. For example, Boy's Varsity Basketball vs. Visitors @ 6:00 PM, with 6:00 being the JV start time.

Many parents get upset if the game is scheduled for 7:30 and they start 7:15. That is why I would never judge a penalty based on the game time in real time, but based on what the clock says. And it is expected teams be given the right time to warm-up. About the only sport that does not have this expectation I work is baseball. But in basketball we might start earlier, but the clock is what we base that off of, not the actual time. Most JV games are scheduled an hour and a half before the varsity contest. That almost never happens that smoothly to where we would start at the exact time after a previous game, and certainly not if we put time on the clock to warm-up.

This is an unusual practice in my experience.
