I agree. I do not think I have ever seen this happen in a game I officiated or I was watching.

Actually had this happen last week.

Jeff, the reason you haven't seen it was because it happened in a girls' game.

LOL!!! If that is the case, then you likely do not have the height disparity.

Haven't seen many girls' games have you?

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.

No and I do not intend to.

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.

The only time I've ever had this is in a girls middle school game.
