How is that fair? I don't want to see TMG jumping against Pittman of UT if he ties him up.
He might tie up Pittman, though.TMG will never get tied up by Pittman, lol.
Jumpballs just aren't part of the normal course of playing basketball, IMO. And, if you are going to have all these jumpballs, you should be able to select anyone on the floor to jump it up.How is it fair for the defensive player to make a great play, only to get screwed by happenstance?

It's fair because both players who tied up the ball have a chance to win the tip. TMG will never get tied up by Pittman, lol.

Why fix/change something that isn't broken?
Because its lame to see a great defensive play bail the offensive player out of a turnover. You would be better off just trapping and not tying him up if they have the luck arrow.
Its broken.
Unless it's in the first half, right? And if you are assuming this will be the last tie-up.Because its lame to see a great defensive play bail the offensive player out of a turnover. You would be better off just trapping and not tying him up if they have the luck arrow.
Its broken.
Exactly, it's not random.It isn't luck, it rotates. What is "lucky" about that? Luck would be if they flipped a coin.
What about loose balls that two players dive on and tie each other up?

Ehh, it's just a discussion, there are no winners and losers.Man, abd, you are getting killed on this topic.

Haha, yea.Killed might have been to strong of a word, but no one is agreeing with him.

I will say the only frustrating part about the rule is his end of the game scenario. But I don't think changing it to the NBA rule makes the most sense over the course of the whole game.
Here's something I never got, and pardon my ignorance if I look dumb.
OSU lost basically every opening tip last year, and at the first possession of the 2nd half the other team would get the ball to inbound some games. Does it have to do with possession arrow?
Shouldn't the loser of the tip get the ball to start the 2nd half? I know in the NBA it goes:
Winner - 1st/4th
Loser - 2nd/3rd
