I was watching old game film and waxing nostalgic about how great the old jump ball rule was. I get that having officials tossing the ball in the air several times without error can be a problem, but I loved watching the match-ups of small and tall and all the strategy that went in to how to place players.

I'm guessing most coaches would be against it because how much time it would take to prepare for scenarios - offensive end/defensive end etc, but man, what a huge piece of the game that is now just gone. Anyone vote with me to return it, or am I on an island?
