For newbies - clock start?
Heard two refs debate this the other night. On a jump ball to start the game, do you chop the clock when the ball is first touched by one of the jumpers, or do you wait until it's touched by a non-jumper? Also, on a missed free throw that hits the floor, do you start the clock then or wait until it's touched by a player.

OK Mark. Without looking at my rules, I'll fall for that. Clock is chopped at the first touch on the jump ball, and I am sure of that. I seem to remember looking it up about a month ago. I am not nearly as sure on the free throw, but I believe it is first touch there as well. Now, I'll go look it up.

On the missed free throw, the clock doesn't start until it is legally touched by a player. |

thanks rich, we can add throw ins as well (5-9-4) although the wording is slightly different . right? start the clock when the :
jump ball - is first touched legally missed free throw - is first touched ( if ball is to remain live ) throw -in - first touched legally , or the ball touches a player

I hope you mean the player could be standing on the floor.

I figured that's what you meant. "On the floor" is redundant: the proper term is 'player'. 4-34-1
