it reaches its highest point. Neither jumper may tap the
ball more than twice, after which neither may touch the ball

the floor, ground, or the basket. When a jump ball takes
place in the inner court, jumpers shall be inside the inner
court and all other players on both teams shall remain in
the outer court until the ball has been tapped. Infraction
of this clause is normally a violation (award of ball to

penalized as delay of the game.
