Real "Jump Ball" Yesterday

[Freddy]

Third time in four years -- had another real jump ball following the jump ball to start the game yesterday! How weird is it that I remember and keep track of these more than the number of deer I've shot?

You knew that.

You knew that.

Or held ball before the arrow is set.

In FED, the two players involved must jump.

In NCAA, any two players may jump.

This is what happened to me last year in a HS game. First time ever.

I've had it once. 7th grade girls (of course.)

Funny when it involves one team's tall player versus the other team's shortest player. Just as funny when it involves two guards. In many cases, they've never done this before, and they look like deer in headlights.

I've had this happen twice. Once it resulted in a re-jump between a little and a big, the other time it was two guards who I'm pretty sure (based on the deer in the headlights look) had never been jumpers at any time in their young lives. None was old enough to appreciate my, "Welcome to 1970," comment.

They have to be in the center circle so that they may jump. But if one player chooses not to jump, as long as he is in the circle, and does not catch the tip, he's good.

Man, that brings back memories. My Sr. year of High School, we did not really have a center - tallest kid was about 6'1" or 6'2" and could not jump to save his life, in a league where most schools had several guys 6'5" or above.

So I would be our "center" - at all of 5'8". I never jumped. I just tried to anticipate where the other center would tip it and react and get there to tip it away to one of our guys. Worked a few times...but the looks I would get from these 6'7" guys as I stepped into the circle was priceless.
