[NFHS] When can the jumper possess the ball?
So I was told that I was misinterpreting the rule by stating that one of the jumpers can catch the tipped the ball after only hitting the floor. I was told by the instructional chair of another unit that a non-jumper is required to touch the ball before one of the jumpers can possess it. But because he couldn't specify where the rulebook says that, I'm having trouble verifying it. Hence my post here.
Here are the rules that I am going off of to state that one of the jumpers can legally retrieve the ball after they tip it and having it only contact the floor before retrieval: Rule 4, Section 28 - Jump Ball, Art. 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. Rule 6, Section 3 - Jump Ball Administration, Art. 7 Neither jumper shall: a. Touch the tossed ball before it reaches its highest point.Please correct me where I am wrong by specifically citing the rulebook. Thanks! Last edited by Afrosheen; Mon Oct 03, 2016 at 07:17pm.
