Jump ball held ball plus injury.

What happens if on a jump ball, A2 and B2 tie up a ball for a held ball call and A1 is injured in the scrum. Who jumps?

I assume you mean A2 was injured? And that this was during the jump ball to start the game and no alternating possession had been established yet?

Team B's coach gets to choose the shortest player on Team A to replace A2 and he will be the jumper.

In all seriousness, I am going to have A6, the substitute for A2 be the jumper along with B2. Not sure if this is addressed anywhere in the rules, so this is just what makes sense to me.

Agree with MathReferee

Honestly have to say this is a question I have never thought of before.

In the NBA, which I'm assuming the OP is referencing when he talks about a held ball situation, I would think the substitute would have to jump since it has to be the two players who were involved.

If we are talking NFHS or NCAA I don't know why we wouldn't let the coach put in a sub and have whoever he wanted be the new jumper.

Absent the injury, in NFHS the two players involved have to jump. That's why I'd have the sub jump.

Absent the injury in NCAAW, any two players can jump. So, any two players can jump after the injury.

Agreed. In NFHS, the rule doesn't address the situation, but there is precedent to determine their intent. That precedent is with free throws, and it's clear they want the sub to shoot. I'm going that route and having the sub jump.

That make sense.

I disagree that substitutes for an injured free throw shooter is precedent here. I can agree with what Bob is saying in that absent the injury, NFHS would require the two original jumpers to jump again.

I don't think the FT situation is analogous.
