Jump balls are stupid.

This is a good reason for the AP arrow which MTD and BillyMac dislike so much.

I believe that are on opposite sides. MTD wants to jump every time, Billy wants to start the game with a coin toss.

I vote for a rugby scrum. Just drop the ball and get the hell out of the way.

Have you seen how rugby players do sideline throw-ins? I think that might be safer than a scrum.

Wow. Didn't look like he got hit that hard. From now on, I am having the U's toss if I am the R.

Doesnt take much to get a concussion. Last year we had a game where a visiting player B1 took and easy step backwards and the back of his head hit his teammate's, B2, forehead. B2 crumpled and was removed from the game for concussion symptoms.

I consider it an "Abomination Upon the Game". Billy just tells me to keep my mouth shut.

P.S. I was accidently kicked in the stomach by a 7'-00" center in a men's jr. college game during the opening tip. Nothing serious though.

Years ago, local college Womens' game, two man crew, I caught a flailing hand/fingernail of one of the jumpers, across my forehead. You know how a facial scratch can bleed . . . it took a couple of minutes to follow the blood drops and clean them up, and to get me a bandage on my forehead. What a way to start a game!
I've been hit in the groin by a jumper's foot on a couple of occasions . . . it's a bit difficult to concentrate until everything settles down . . .

You're mixing me up with the other old guy. I'm the one with lots of hair, and I'm the one who hates jump balls. Start the game with a coin toss, or start the game with the visitors getting the ball, and use the arrow from that point on.

I am the older guy with very little hair.
