The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

A-5 and B-5 jump to start the game.  The ball is tapped by both players.  After the ball hits the floor, the ball is recovered by B-5 before any non-jumper has touched the ball.  

Handle the situation.


This is a legal play.  The jump ball ended when the ball hit the floor.  The restrictions on the jumpers ended at the same time so B-5 was eligible to recover the ball.
