Re-Jump

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

This reminds me of a play back in the good old days when we jumped all held balls and jump ball situations.

I was the administering official for a jump ball at A's free throw circle and I made a bad toss (the only one I have ever made in 30 yrs). Like a good official I did not have my whistle in my mouth when I made the toss. Naturally, the ball got tapped toward B's basket and the teams were off and running, I couldn't grab my whistle fast enough so the only thing I could do was yell "Wait a minute!" Even though we had not discussed it in our pregame my partner stopped play because he figured that I wanted to bring the ball back. We had a good laugh after the game about that. So just yell "Wait a minute!" and I am sure that your partner will get the game stopped for you.
