And if they didn't attempt to touch the ball, then I believe we "order" them to both jump and attempt to touch the ball on that next toss. |

If I'm critiquing you as an assigner/clinician and U1 and U2 don't blow their whistle to retoss. I'm taking points off for that and I'm also going to assume you don't know what you are doing. On the other hand, if you do blow your whistle, it swings completely the other way. I'm going to assume that this guy knows his stuff and yes, I'm impressed! Hope that helps. Remember, it's sometimes the little things that can get you from one step on the ladder to the next. Peace |

2) Fanboys and trolls don't get a chance to critique officials, except to other fanboys and trolls. I hate to admit it, but you're not even a good troll anymore either. What you post is so completely wrong rules-wise and also so patently stoopid that even the newbies here know enough to not take you seriously. Why don't you try the Baseball forum again? You've already been laughed off of it once, but maybe they've forgotten you by now. Naw, on second thought, fuggedaboutit. Back to McGriffs where you belong. Shoo, shoo......

In my opinion (since noone asked... ) this is not a judgement call. If both Players either jumped too early or if we have overestimated their jumping ability and they miss the toss at its highest point then so be it. If the players then legally tap the ball before the ball hits the floor we have a good opening toss (relatively speaking). If team A gained possession during this toss would you take the ball away from them simply because you didn't like the way the toss "looked"...??? If I'm the coach of Team A I'm going ballistic about that time. If I'm in the stands and I am the evaluator when the official takes the ball away from Team A because he (or she) didn't like the way the toss "looked"...he (or she) would probably get "dinged". Mostly because I think this just compounds the problem. You already started the game with a messy toss...you tossed too high or they just missed it...It doesn't matter. I don't think we should compound the situation by taking the ball away from a team that legally gained possession simply because we didn't like the way it looked... But that's just me. And I don't know everything...yet. But I'm hoping you guys will help me remedy that... Good discussion and good responses. Thanks for letting me participate.

Accept you blast it before anybody gets control. Remember, both jumpers missed it, beep! If the toss is too high and both jumpers miss it. Nothing bad has happen, just re-toss it, and not so high the next time. It would be unfair in my opinion to let any team receive the ball when the jump was not executed correctly.
Don't beat yourself up on at it's highest point or after it's highest point, these points are truely mute (and anal) which is exactly what I recommend you do for these other posters who choose to spread hate and dislike for their fellow officials. You're going to run into a lot of people like these guys in your quest to be a good official and climb the labber. They hate on me so bad because they can not break my spirits. Have a nice day...Peace |

Then how about maybe citing case book play 6.3.7(a)? That case play gives a definitive answer to your previous assertation that a two-handed tap by a jumper on a jump ball was a violation. Show us that you are a real, live, honest-to-goodness official, OldOne. Prove to us that you do own a current NFHS rule book and case book. |

To the second point. If you toss the ball too high, and both jumpers miss it. I will blow it and dare you to say something to me about it in the locker room. If I'm a clincian, I going to take a point off for throwing the ball too high, although I will admit. I would take more points off for a toss too short and you got players that can jump. Actually, I think you need to give this some thought. When evaluating who may go to the playoff's and who's going to be the lead official. I bet there might be discussions on who tosses good and who doesn't, and this person will be selected the R. What I'm saying is if you got a strong 3-person crew and the decision is being made, who's going to be the lead official in this crew, everything else being equal of course. I would not doubt that the decision to be the R might come down to the person who tosses it the best. Just a thought.... |

6-3-4 . . . The referee shall then toss the ball upward between the jumpers in a plane at right angles to the sidelines. The toss shall be to a height greater than either of them can jump so that it will drop between them.
