Análisis de Situaciones de Salto • Jump Ball Analysis SituationsThe Possession has not yet been Established
( para Traducción al Español= Ver el Mensaje Anterior ) The rule says that the team that does not obtain control of the ball on the jump ball at the beginning of the game will be awarded the ball for a throw-in from out-of-bounds at the place nearest to where the next jump ball situation occurs.
In your scenario, since possession has not yet been established, the official cannot use the alternating possession arrow to concede possession. The referee shall provide another jump ball, between A2 and B2, at the centre circle.
Any time has passed on the game clock, after the legal tapping of the ball and before the held ball or the double foul situation, shall remain completely used up.
eBA Statistical Registration= Nothing to register in the first jump ball, because no possession was established. Statistically, the second jump ball replaces the first and it will define the first possession, so there is no one register about turnover or steal, and in the case of the double foul, only will be registered the personal fouls to each player.
