Because of china flu.

According to documentation from the KHSAA, high school basketball games in Kentucky will begin with a coin flip this season.

The argument can be made theyre less compacted during a jump ball than a normal play under the rim.

I'm OK eliminating the jump ball. Not because of Covid, but because it's a elementary way to determine first possession.

It’s like people wake up everyday and try to challenge themselves to come up with the dumbest thing possible regarding covid.

It’s more basic than a coin flip? Exactly how would you like to determine first possession that isn’t “elementary”?

You have to appear like you’re doing something. It doesn’t matter if it’s completely illogical.

Paper/Rock/Scissors by the team captains, best 2 out of 3.

They should determine possession by the old XFL (Part 1) way

10 men on the baseline. Ball at the opposite FT line. At the whistle, fight for it. That's how I would have done it, Mr. Neismith.

Why stop with the jump ball?

Maybe they should just do coin flips for each possession of the game to determine if a team scores or not.

Do they believe in safety or not?

Hahah Christ this is so stupid .

So you can still go and dunk and attempt to block the dunk ? Which is the same thing virtually as the jump ball

Umm what?? Competing for the opening possession vs. a 50/50 game of chance?

Are they going to eliminate rebounding too? Missed shot automatically has possession going to the other team? Because multiple players going for a rebound and boxing out has 10x the contact that a jump ball does.
