Have you ever seen how long it takes the NBA to line up for a jump ball, especially when it occurs in the free throw circle. Almost takes as long as a hockey face-off.

I wouldn't mind seeing the jump ball come back to NCAA. There really aren't that many in the course of the game. I think the AP is probably right for high school, because you get so many more in sub-varsity games.
