The Sky Ball idea is actually pretty genius, and since all courts are inside it should have a perfect drop every time. It will allow more consistency, allowing centers and other players to specialize better in possession ball tipping, rather than the chaotic nature it is now the drop system could also probably maneuver around the court, so that you can have a drop ball where the jump balls would have still taken place, therefore fundamentally nothing would change the game, other than the speed and accuracy of the ball coming down

[@BatCaveOz]

In Australian Rules Football (AFL) the umpires bounce the ball by slamming it into the ground instead of throwing it up in the air... unless the ground is wet and it won't bounce well. It has been intentionally made more random as a way of inducing fairness at the expense of repeatability. If the ball goes out of bounds, the umpire throws the ball back into the field of play, but they throw it over their head, with their back to the players and not looking where the players are. Again, the injection of chaos results in less repeatabilty, but reduces the possibilty of bias. Carn the Hawks!

I like the skyball idea, but instead of dropping from the Jumbotron, have a drone rigged with a device that can hold and release a ball, and drop if from 20ft above the court. It could also have arms on opposing sides that beam a red dot or circle on to the court where the players who are jumping for the ball would have to stand, so they start at an equal distance to it.

[@rome8180]

Agree with this. Dropping a ball from the rafters is probably too high. Someone might legitimately get hurt trying to tap a ball with that kind of velocity. Or if no one touched it, it would probably bounce 20 feet in the air, resulting in chaos. The drone also allows jump balls to take place any place on the court. In the original skyball idea, it would always take place at center court.

[@percys8774]

The VERY BEST alternative to a jump ball is this old playground idea: As a kid sometimes we would do a triple-bounce "jump" ball. It's simple, you drop the ball between the two players and it has to bounce three times. After the third bounce it's a live ball and both players can go for it. If one player touches the ball before the third bounce then the other team automatically gets possession. It's fun and it's suspenseful waiting for that third bounce, and it doesn't favor height in the ridiculous way a jump ball does. If anything a shorter faster player may have the advantage in a triple-bounce.

Bonus: mascot proficiency is now very slightly relevant to the game.

[@russellst.martin4255]

1) Lower the hoop to 7ft and have each coach do their best dunk. Winner's team gets the ball. 2) The ball will be hidden under a seat within the arena.

[@papaquonis]

I realise it's very different to basketball, but I always loved how the umpires in aussie rules football handle the ball in similar situations. To start the game, they bounce the football hard into the ground and then the opposing teams jump for it like in basketball. The uneven shape of the football makes the bounce pretty random, so there's little risk of an umpire being accused of not being fair. Throw-ins are also handled by the umpires. They stand on the line with their back to the playing field and then throw it as hard and high as they can backwards. Again it's somewhat random where the ball drops, but both teams have some time to adjust to make a fair go at the ball.

[@not2be4gotten02]

The thing about the Kanter-Vucevic tipoff example at 3:47 is that Vucevic routinely doesn't even try to get the tip because he's not great at it and was standing significantly farther from the center than Kanter, so the throw was naturally closer to Kanter's arm
