4-28-2 . . .The jump ball begins when the ball leaves the official's hand(s) and ends when the
touched ball contacts a nonjumper, the floor, a basket or backboard. (italics added)
6-3-6 . . . The tossed ball must be touched by one or both of the jumpers after it reaches its highest point.
If the ball contacts the floor without being touched by at least one of the jumpers, the referee shall toss it again. (italics added)
