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!
