I am suffering from brain lock and need some help here.
1. Jump ball to start the game. Clock should start when someone other than the jumpers touch the ball ? 2. GJV . Under the basket player A goes up for shot, feet never leave the ground, Player B temporarily ,like less than 1 second,puts a hand on the ball, Player than reloads and partner calls a jump ball. I no called it because her feet never left the ground and the block was more of a touch. Is my thinking a no call correct ? |
1) Yes
2) I got no call as per your description. Otherwise a jump would work depending on how the play was seen. Why were both of you watching the ball anyway? Smoke |
Whoa!!!
The clock starts when one of the jumpers legally touches the ball, not one of the non-jumpers. R5-9-2. |

2. Defender prevents a release hadta see it. It's a judgement call. |
I thought the clock started when the tossed ball was legally touched. 5-9-2
Unless your partner thought that the defender's hand was firmly on the ball, I think a no-call is appropriate |
Misread original post.
1) Ball becomes live when it leaves the officials hand, however the clock does not start until it is touched. 2) Judgement call as I said before. |

The definition of a "held ball" sez that opponents have their hands so firmly on the ball that control cannot be obtained without undue roughness. You know- undue roughness like maybe throwing an opponent to the floor. :D
Anyway,in this play, if the hand on the ball didn't stop the shooter from "reloading", I can't see how you could call a held ball. You call a held ball when neither player can do anything with the ball- which doesn't really sound like what happened in this play. Of course, I'm guessing- the same as everyone else. It always remains a judgement call by the calling official as to whether the ball was held firmly enough that the shooter couldn't do anything further with it. |
Two years ago, A1 was taking a hook. B1 got inside inside of him and "jammed" the ball. A1's foot was on the floor. No question.
A1 recovered the ball instantly and passed it. I "No Called" it. Coach blew up. It was my only "T" that year. I thought I was correct but you guys are giving me doubts? To me, it doesn't meet the criteria for a Held Ball if the grounded offensive player is merely prevented ("jammed") from making the attempt. Hope I was right....... |
More Specifically
Okay thanks for the feedback and the rules reference on the jump ball/ start clock.
On the second question so the feet have nothing to do with it being a jump ball. My thinking is Player A goes up for shot, player B blocks shot , Player A comes back down to floor both players still have hands on ball ,Jump Ball. So I was thinking never left floor no jump ball. I believe I got this no call correct for the wrong reasons. LOL |
Easy questions

I just looked in my rule book for language that I thought I remembered -- "preventing a release on a shot." It's there alright, but it applies only to an airborne shooter. So in replying to the original post, I'd say P missed it, and OP got it right.
