My point was that, in addition to being incorrect, your partner was attempting to make that call out of his primary.

Non-Tossing Official ...
 

It appears that IAABO wants the non-tossing official to watch all ten players (jumpers and non-jumpers) for fouls or violations.

As the tosser, I'm always pleased to get any extra help from the non-tosser as I am sometimes ducking out of the way of an extended elbow.

Also, it takes a split second, or so, to get the whistle in my mouth, so the non-tosser often "beats me to the punch".

Thus, I, as the tosser, would not expect my partner to give me first crack (cadence whistle) at a jumper violation.

I hate jump balls.

I think that I have always made my opinion perfectly clear on that topic.

I just got around to completing the Questionnaire before the deadline to submit it and I voted NO on Question #8 in Part III.

If Question #8 were to be adopted it would make NFHS CB Play 8.2B void. And we must not let that happen.
