I think that player has earned the right to contest for the ball as part of competing.

I know some of us are concerned about throwing a good jump ball in a close contest, but I think that skill would improve as more jumps are administered.
You obviously did not officiate before the gap.

Officiate? I'm sure that many Forum members weren't even born before 1985.

Concerning OTs looks like there's an agreement to disagree concerning jump balls & AP.
