On a jump ball, either of the jumpers may control the tip in the circle IF the ball has hit the ground, or another player, first.


I have a co-worker who is a HS official who disagreed with the first statement. Could you give me exact rule and casebook numbers please?

Coach, One-Whistle cited the rule for you above, and also copied it out of the book as well- i.e. Rule 6-4-7.
