Message: [QUOTE="stamfordhusky, post: 4779470, member: 649"] Yes, of all leagues in the world, all levels of basketball anywhere, it is only the NBA that has jump balls on every tie-up. Most of the world, including me, thinks the NBA rule needs to be changed. There is a very good reason why everyone else changed the rule decades ago. That is particularly true because it has been demonstrated that most refs do a poor job of throwing the ball up on jump balls and often give a huge advantage to one team or the other. Refs' incompetence in this area has decided a number of NBA games. Maybe they will change the rule when a bad toss determines who wins Game 7 of the Championship Series. [/QUOTE]
