Non-tossing official rules on fouls or violations by jumpers or nonjumpers.

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

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.
