We had to switch balls at halftime of an NCAAW game a couple of weeks ago.

We started with a Wislon Solution, but apparently the conference has a rule that a Wilson Evolution is to be used (or maybe it was the other way around).

Black and White And Red All Over (Embarrassed Zebra) ...
 
Catholic school middle school games last weekend. Boys tripleheader. Used the same "game ball" for the entire first game, and for a few minutes into the second game when a point guard tells us, "This ball doesn't feel right. I think it's a girls ball."

He was right.

Men's JUCO game today. I'm the R. Blow my whistle, throw up a pretty perfect toss. Both players try to steal it and jump too early -- the ball is deflected right towards me and I have just enough time to head it away from me before the jumpers converge and kill me. The U2 couldn't stop laughing for the first minute of the game.

He seemed legitimately confused as to why I didn't want to switch.

Well, what could be better than a game ball, anyway?

During the game, "I just want a ball that bounces."
I had checked, and the one we were using was within the tolerance.

After the game, "all the refs want to use my ball." The ball we had was plenty good, just not brand new.

We touched on this last year. I believe basketball is the only sport that designates ONE game ball. Anyone work another sport that has this same rule?
