[NU Sports] Double possession

[hakirsch at aol.com]

I think we were on the road against OSU in 1983 when tied in OT with a few seconds left and we had to forfeit a jump ball because of the possession arrow.  The Bucks got the ball and made the winning shot
I may have" mis-remembered" my facts so if anyone else remembers the game fill us in

I've often wondered about this, too, but just assumed that whichever  team loses the initial jump ball gets the possession arrow first and  then whoever the possession arrow favors at the beginning of the  second half gets the ball to start the half.
The NCAA rule book provides the definitive answer:
Rule 6.1.2: The second half shall start with the team that controlled  the alternating-possession arrow at the end of the first half given disposal of the  ball at the divisionline opposite the scorers’ table.
Rule 6.2.2: The team that does not obtain control of the initial jump  ball shall start thealternating process when the next alternating-possession situation  occurs by beingawarded the ball at a designated spot nearest to where the held ball  occurred.
