Illegal Tap ...

Right, or wrong, we've always (33 years, which, by itself, doesn't make it right) reset the clock when a jumper hits the ball on the way up. It figured that the same applied it one of the jumpers caught the ball instead of tapping it, although I've never actually seen the play.
Nevadaref: Your answer sounds good, but I'd like to hear others' opinions.
