Many years ago, it was always a travel. A jump ball was only called if there was joint possession for 1 second or more. Can anybody rembember when this changed?

Butch,to be quite honest(in my 45 years), I can't ever remember there ever being an interpretation about held balls that involved any specified time period at all. As far as I know, it was always up to the individual official's judgement as to whether a player could do, or not do, something with the ball.

Of course, I've been wrong before too.
