Jump Ball

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 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.

This is why I am choosy about with whom I have rules conversations.

I don't like talking to brick walls.

People always wonder why I talk to myself. It is the only way I can have an intelligent conversation. 😛

What happens to the arrow?

Lose the ball, and win the arrow, but it wasn't always this way, the rule changed about ten years ago. Before that an illegal possession was still considered a possession. I guess the NFHS came to its senses and considered the double jeopardy penalty to be too harsh.

And, if the timekeeper starts the game clock, in error, when the tossed ball is grabbed, then be sure to reset the game clock to 8:00 because, by rule, it was an illegal touch.

5-9-2: If play is started or resumed by a jump, the clock shall be started when the tossed ball is legally touched.

6-3-7-C: Neither jumper shall: Catch the jump ball.

9-6: A player shall not violate any provision of the jump ball (6-3).

I know that many on the Forum will disagree with that, so, let the games begin.

99.9% of the time, the ball is tipped and then caught.

I've heard of, but never seen, a jumper go up with two hands and grab the ball.
