Jump Ball

[Zoochy]

A1 is the only one to tip the jump ball. The ball touches the playing court and A1 is the first one to obtain player control. Legal or Violation. If it is a violation, then what?

6-3-8 tells us that the restriction of the jumper catching the ball / obtaining player control (6-3-7 c) ends when the ball touches the floor. Thus, in your scenario, A1 is legally allowed to catch the ball /obtain player control.

How can you have a tie up with only one person?

Reread the OP. It is a jump ball to start the game or OT.

Ah, I read "tip" as "tie up." Thanks.

6-3-8: The jump ball and the restrictions in 6-3-7 end when the touched
ball contacts one of the eight nonjumpers, an official, the floor, a basket or
backboard. NOTE: During a jump ball, a jumper is not required to face his/her own basket, provided
he/she is in the proper half of the center restraining circle. The jumper is also not required
to jump and attempt to touch the tossed ball. However, if neither jumper touches the ball
it should be tossed again with both jumpers being ordered to jump and try to touch the
ball.

Is this an accent thing? My grandmother used to say "syrup" as "sip." Is this similar?

That would be spelled ti'p.

The strange part after having the discussion with this referee. Showing him the rule and these posts. He still states that the OP is a violation.
They should know by now, NOT to question my rules knowledge.

I actually had this scenario for the first time (at least that I can remember) over the summer. Happily I remembered the rule but I was talking to myself about the scenario for the first few minutes of the game.

I know the rule b/c I kicked it early in my HS career.

I this in back-to-back AAU games this summer. I called neither of them, the "R" was on point. Also had a stolen tip that day.

I know what you mean about talking to yourself. Whenever I have a weird play it kinda distracts me for the next few minutes. I need to improve my focus on the next play. That's the only one that really matters.

I whistled this dead the first time I saw it, but immediately went with IW since I knew the rule. Coach questioned me on it, but accepted my response that it's legal once it hits the floor.
