Jump ball violation

I always try and suprise the jumpers with my toss because I don't want it stolen on the way up. Remember, were reffing from the moment we arrive. Calling back the toss for whatever reason is the most missed call in my opinion. I remember when I was the U in my first year just trying to make sure that I ran the correct direction after the toss.

I agree! I've missed this numerous times as I'm thinking "white to the right". I like the mechanic of reminding the jumpers and then tossing after a dribble or two. I'm adding this to my game and paying more attention from the U.

Thanks...I'm a better official today. Gotta go get ready for todays games.
