Coaches sending players to the center circle for overtime or the beginning of the game does not fall into the above category.

Now apply that logic to your scenarios.

That is a nice sentiment, but is it your personal opinion or can you back that up with an NFHS ruling?
If you notice, I asked earlier in this thread if there is a designated jumper to start the game or any extra period. I couldn’t find a clear answer in the rules book.

While I respect Raymond's knowledgeable opinion, like Nevaderef, I'm also not as certain as Raymond seems to be regarding these rejump situations and replacements/substitutes.

Of course, as basketball officials we often hang our hat on if it's not illegal, it's legal, usually with pretty valid interpretations.

You can feel free to show me where in the rule book anything I said is incorrect. You've already stated you can't find anywhere in the rule that states the opening and OT jumpers are "designated", so you obviously can't refute that sentiment.

If you are going to take your usual condescending tone, at least have a citation or reference to go along with it. My rule book reference has already been posted by others.
