Jump Ball

[QUOTE=BillyMac;1054821]It's on its way up the ladder.

Wish me luck.

Zoochy's (who I knew already knew the correct answer) original thread question just hit a nerve, and I had to do something about it, first by writing and sending in a cynical, self deprecating, and hopefully humorous article for possible publication in IAABO Sportorials Magazine (see above), and then, with encourgement from ilyazhito and Raymond, to make a formal suggestion to my Conneciticut IAABO State Interpreter.

I know how much you enjoy Jump Balls. I wish we could start the game without a Jump Ball and just have Visitors or Home start with a division line throw-in. Coin toss would be too much. That means I have to bring a coin. I hate to see an official use a penny for the toss. We'll keep the coin toss for Football and Volleyball
My last 3 games the referee stated 'Don't Move' before they tossed the ball. I always wanted to ask, 'What would you do if a player moved?' But that is not worth a halftime discussion.
I actually saw an official make a player move his foot. Would not allow him to straddle the division line
