I was asked once by a scorekeeper and timer. Who is the R and who is the U. and why does it matter. My response to them was. The person who can throw the best jump ball to start the game is the R. I agree that the game starts before the jump.....But what most people see is that first toss. They will judge you from that point forward. The R is in my opinion the gauge at what the general public will view your skill from the opening toss to the finish.
I think we are judged much earlier than the toss. In High School Basketball we are judged from the time we come into the gym. If we are watching a game before ours we are being watched. If we have the first game we are being watched. We are really being watched once we've taken the floor for our game.
