If you substitute "jump ball" for "tapped ball" though, you will find it in the book.

Yes I suppose that is the way to look at it...and it does say "the" tapped ball versus "a" tapped ball which I guess makes you lean more towards it referring to the original tap....still a dumb way to word a question - of course I know that a jumper can't catch the jump ball either before or after it is tapped without touching something, it just seems sometimes that they ask these questions sometimes to see how many people they can get to get them wrong...this could have easily been worded differently to still get the point across and avoid the dual meaning...like I said this is the one out of one hundred that I thought was a dumb question, so it's not like I'm that picky!
