Kentucky Eliminating Jump Ball
https://kentuckysportsradio.com/bask...etball-season/
So what purpose does this serve? Billy will love this. |

The jump ball change is not about the players but about the officials. Many officials are far more in the vulnerable group than the kids. By not having the jump ball, and other mechanics changes, it allows the officials to maintain distances throughout the entire game.

No ball handling. Players retrieve the ball, hold it, and then resume play upon direction from the administering official. The official can then stay as far away as they need/want to. That primarily serves the purpose of preventing the transmission from handling a whistle with saliva then touching the ball then touching the face area again but it also removes the situation where an official hands the ball to a player for a throwin.

We have played "no players in the spaces for FTs" in a few tourneys at one facility for youth games. I have to say I kinda enjoy it. No jockeying and shoving 6 people together at once, no dumb violations, during 2 shots the teams have started talking with the coach eliminating some time outs, and my favorite is no trash talking which is one spot that it inevitably happens.

I skimmed the KHSAA handbook, referenced in the article; unless I missed something, it does not say anything about open lane spaces or no ball handling; to the contrary, it specifies that officials should bounce the ball to players from six feet away.
Otherwise, it is mostly about now-standard protocols to prevent spreading: social distancing, handwashing, sanitizers, no handshakes, etc. |

It's The Old Set Up BillyMac ...
... to get him in trouble and get him suspended from the Forum trick.
It's the oldest trick in the book. You all see how Forum members try to set me up. It's a big conspiracy I tell you, a big conspiracy. Quote:
Agree, no victory lap for me, but ... No jump balls in Michigan, Mississippi, and now Kentucky. Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. must be rolling over in his grave. Wait? I'm being told ... Are you sure? Did anybody check his breathing with a mirror? Barely? Never mind.

Not specifically, but that is the direction we're going in Oregon. It isn't approved yet, but it is likely since I'm proposing it and the state basketball committee has agreed to it.

Having worked this summer, this all sounds really silly. I get maybe bouncing the ball on a throw-in when we would hand it, but I do not get how we have players get everything on their own. I could see that as causing other in-game issues. But if that is what we have to do, I guess, but not very practical. Players tend to go faster than when we are ready and with substitutions and other inadvertent delays, I just am not a fan. But again maybe if there is a stated procedure meaning how we let them know we are ready, I guess. But I see that is them doing things and we having to stop things and that will be a pain in the behind.
The NCAA gave officials masks (face covering kind from the neck) and to me that would be better than making us do something else. Peace

Without anyone really knowing how this thing is spreading, to me, that seems like the most probable avenue of transmission. And it isn't so much a way to protect the kids but to offer some degree of protection (even if it is just imagined) to the officials who are by and large in a much more vulnerable age group. We're expecting a substantial level of attrition and, with that, a very difficult time covering the games that we'd have. This may be the one thing that keeps a few more officials around.
