I worked a game at the start of this season where the R made a non jumper move because his feet were straddling the division line. Myth?

Back in the middle part of the twentieth century, there was an smaller diameter inner circle inside the jump ball circle that we now use. I believe that the rule stated that both jumpers had to have all least one foot in the smaller diameter inner circle.

Steverz's coach, and R, in his original post, must be "old timers".

Freddy: I don't answer the Batphone, but I do respond to the Mythbuster searchlight signal in the clouds.

It wasn't in the middle 20th Century, but in the late 1970's thru the late80's if my memory is correct. I ain't going to climb up into that attic for this one but I think that once Spring time rolls around I am going to have to bring that stuff down and scan it into this computer.

I've never heard that one. I do see a few Rs who want to make everyone stand still for the toss, but I've never had one make the playes choose one side of the division line.

But hey, may as well have Billy add it to his list.

Non-jumpers are not allowed to change positions.

It doesn't mean they have to be stationary, and it only applies to the players around the circle.

If they aren't on the circle, they can move all they want.

And if they are on the circle, they can move away from it if they want.

Back in the "olden days" when I was a coach, I used this to get quite a few open layups. That was back when we had lots, and lots, of jump balls, and lots, and lots, of jump ball plays.

Yes, it's a myth, and I've seen officials do it, too. I wonder where this crap gets started.

Had a partner this week tell a player off the circle that she couldn't be directly behind (6-7 feet) a player on the circle.

"6-3 ART. 2

When the official is ready and until the ball is tossed, nonjumpers shall not:

a. Move onto the center restraining circle.

b. Change position around the center restraining circle."

How would one judge this? I guess I'm having problems understanding "move onto" and "change position".

Is that more than a step?

Aren't the "unmarked" spaces on the circle assumed to be three feet wide, and three feet deep, like the marked spaces on the lane lines?
