What would you do?

Opening jump ball.

A2 goes after the ball, bubbles it near the sideline and falls out of bounds.

We go B's ball but because A2 bubbled it, the table gives B the arrow. (unknown to me the R)

First jump ball, I know it's A's ball. (I did not believe that A controlled the tip.)

The crowd goes nuts ( Like I care about what they think ). when I award the ball to A.

Now the worse part of this is A is winning by about 20 at this point, but that doesn't matter, what do you think?

I think that to be up by 20 in the first quarter is quite a feat. We'd be thinking running clock in the 2nd half in FL. But, you do what is right, no matter what the crowd thinks. It is always good to check the arrow after an AP throw-in is legally completed as well. Others will chime in with how they track the arrow.

Where did he say it was the first quarter? I have had several games this year already where one team is up by 15 or more in the first quarter.

Not only is it good to check the arrow after an AP throw-in, it's good to check it right after the opening tip to make sure it is set the correct direction. It's a good thing to pregame.

Now I just want to know what a "bubble" is in the OP.

Agreed. I like to check the arrow after it should be set or should have changed.

If the first AP opportunity is a held ball, it has to be in the first quarter (unless something unusual happens between quarters).

Very true. Thanks for pointing that out.

Your wish for a running clock has been granted.

I had an 8th grade boys rec game two weeks ago in which the score at the end of the first quarter was 36-3. The final was 64-14. The winning coach made his boys "take it easy" after the first quarter.

It was the first Q, It was about 20-1 and it was a "bobble"...sorry.

Visitors could not control the ball and Home team was running the whole game.

The game ended at 44-22 when Home played their bench extensively.

You give it to A no matter.

We always have the R and the U2 check the arrow after possession to make sure it's pointed directly. If not, we clean it up at the first clock stoppage.
