Does the rule book (NFHS) state which direction jumpers must face during a jump ball? I can't find it.

Jumpers can face any direction they want to, as long as they have both feet in the semi-circle that is farther from their basket.

Quote:
NOTE: During a jump ball, a jumper is not required to face his/her own basket, provided he/she is in the proper half of the center restraining circle. The jumper is also not required to jump and attempt to touch the tossed ball. However, if neither jumper touches the ball it should be tossed again with both jumpers being ordered to jump and try to touch the ball. FED 6-4-7 NOTE

Cool Of course it does.

Try 6-4-1
... For any jump ball, each jumper shall have both feet within that half of the center restraining circle which is farther from his/her basket.

Ooopps

Maybe I misunderstood the question. Chuck's answer is more complete.

However, you corrected one important piece of mis-information. The jumper must have both feet in the circle. Perhaps one foot in is NCAA? Or a hold-over from the days when the jumper had to have one foot in the inner circle?

Good catch, DTTB. And yes, BITS, the "inner circle" is what I was thinking about. Duh. I've fixed it now.
