The NCAA has ball regs: 29.5-30 in., 7.5-8.5 psi, 49-54 in bounce when dropped from 6 ft. The Patriot controversy got me thinking about the effects on dribbling, passing, and shooting. In a novel I once read, an NBA coach would set the balls to one limit or the other depending on the team they were playing because a difference of even one basket could change the outcome of a game. Is there actually enough effect that a team would prefer to be at one end or the other of the inflation limits?
