That said, you can go with 2-3 if you want. Honestly, since it's not covered by rule, I'd have a hard time telling anyone their wrong if they came to the other conclusion (allowing anyone to jump). Most of us won't have more than a handful of held balls on the opening tip anyway; the odds of one of those 5 situations involving an injury are infinitely small. |
Fair enough.

Good call on 7-3-2. Knew there was a scenario for a jump not involving a retoss of opening tip but didnt remember exactly and don't have my books.
Now I know this given the .001 chance it happens in a game any time soon.
