MOFFICIAL: Whenever there is a jump ball situation, you, and possibly even your partner, should blow your whistle, signal jump ball, and simultaneously, run towards the players involved and stand over them (if they are on the floor).
Talk to the players and remain at the spot until they have separated away from each other. If they are tustling for the ball, take it away from them.
At least one official should remain in a position to watch the other players for a possible dead ball foul.
This has helped me in the past on numerous occasions. You'd be surprised what your presence near the players does in situations such as these. GOOD LUCK!
