Jump-Ball Alignments

[Adam]

Approach it with the following in mind:

Sometimes officials inflict their own misconceptions on the game.

Exhibit A: the officials who move all non-shooters behind the division line during Technical foul free throws.
Exhibit B: the officials who tell the players along the lane on a free throw to keep their hands within their spaces.
Exhibit C: the officials who announce "wait til it hits the rim" before bouncing the ball to the free throw shooter.
Exhibit D: the officials who make the traveling signal on a throwin spot violation.
