Actually, it ended up being a 5'8" forward jumping against a 5'2' guard. So, it wasn't close - the forward barely moved, while the guard tried hard.

For one its not something you see every game...as others have mentioned its never happened to them and I've seen it once in the seven years I've been officiating. Also, more than likely the two best jumpers are already jumping anyway. Combine this with the fact that more than likely players are matched up against similar players at the original jump and any tie up, which we've determined anecdotally happens rarely, would more than likely be between two such similar players and hence a rule change for this purpose would be just for the sake of change.

No it isn't.

Sorry. I don't really go back that far. The post about Adam and Eve was just my juvenile attempt at humor. Now, regarding the jump ball after every basket, Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. will probably be along in a few minutes. He's the guy who can answer your question. He actually helped Dr. Naismith with the first draft of his thirteen rules. It's true. Really.

I have had the jump after every basket confirmed to me by a credible source. I believe also that much earlier days of the game, a jump ball could be tossed anywhere on the floor. But that I have not had confirmed by a credible source.

My dad told me about playing ball in the late '20's, early '30's and they jumped after each basket. When I was playing in the early '60's we jumped each tie ball (wasn't called a held ball then). If you were near the basket, you jumped at the free throw line. Further out, you jumped at center court. Oddest matchup I saw was a 5'8" guard jumping against a 6'5" center. The guard won by a hand!
This is also the time women's games were half court, 3 guards at one end and 3 forwards at the other. No crossing that center line! |

1961: Each team is permitted two players to roam the entire court. 1971: Five-player, full-court game (not Iowa or Oklahoma). 1993: Iowa finally gives up the six-player game. 1995: Oklahoma is last state to switch.
