I'm guessing the rule for college men's is the same, but not positive.

I've been seeing this type of play happening more and more at both the college and high school level with no whistle. Either it's U1's and U2's not being ready to observe this or maybe it's a growing thought of "as long as nothing egregious occurs, let's just get the game going", as the jump ball procedure becomes more of a 'nuisance' in today's game.

On the flips side however, the NBA still loves the jump ball!!

Since when is NBA the initials of Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.?

No more jump balls, give the ball to the visitors to start the game and use the possession arrow for the rest the game, including any overtimes.

Retire the jump ball and send it to where they keep the peach baskets and chicken wire boundaries, in Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.'s attic.

Also, as a preemptive strike, "Shut up Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.".
