Jump ball question

[theboys]

All right, I'll bite. I don't have a rule book with me, so I gots to know. What's the tip rule?

I know the tip can't be caught by either one of the people involved in the tip. BUT, it seems like I read that the tip can be caught by one of the people involved in the tip if its tipped two or more times. That sounds crazy. Is it?

BTW, 9th grade game last year. Kid on the opposing team catches the tip. Ref calls a violation, but gives the opposing team the AP. After the game, I tell my kid we should've gotten the AP, as well. NEXT game, same thing happens. My kid's bringing the ball in, and I see him talking to the ref. Afterwards I asked him if he was talking about the AP. He said, "yeah, I told the ref what you said, but he said I was wrong." So much for rules knowledge being an advantage.
