Are you an official? (serious question).

Was this still a jump ball? Check the definitions.

Bob makes a great point here. Too many people don't know their definitions. Knowing your definitions can make your game a lot easier. For one, when you are able to use a defintion to answer a coach, it will most likely end the conversation as they don't know the rules. This "play" has nothing to do with your officiating judgement. It is simply a rule that wasn't known when it happened.

Especially if you throw in a rule number, and if your'e not sure, just say, "Rule four", and you'll be right 80% of the time.

Most coaches think that there are a hundred basketball rules, and will be surprised and impressed that you know each rule by number, which will dumbfound them, and immediately shut them up, at least long enough for you to move away from them.

When the ball contacts the floor the jump ball has ended. Therefore there are no jumpers anymore.
