Scrap the AP - this is the most ridiculous rule I have ever heard of. It doesn't award good defence and is the only part of the rules where skill has absoutely nothing to do with who gets the ball.

This is what I have been saying for years. FIBA and NBA/WNBA do it correctly. Jump balls for all held ball and situations where a jump ball is required.
Mark, it is not often that you and I agree - but on this one I certainly do. The AP is one of the main reasons that I am glad that I don't referee in the USA. (plus the fact that it is too far to travel)
