Can a second jump ball occur following the initial jump ball that starts the game and each extra period?

In basketball under NFHS rules, once the initial jump ball is conducted to start the game and any subsequent overtime periods, there cannot be another jump ball during the rest of the game unless specifically allowed under certain circumstances. Therefore, it is impossible for a second jump ball to occur as routine gameplay or as a part of normal circumstances.

The initial jump ball is specifically intended to determine which team gains possession at the start of each game and overtime. After this initial event, possession is determined through alternate possessions, which shifts the ball to the opposing team after each held ball situation arises. This rule is established to ensure the flow of the game is maintained and to prevent unnecessary stoppages.

Other options suggest scenarios such as the occurrence of a jump ball being called by officials or requiring agreement between teams, but the established rules dictate that outside of special situations defined in the rulebook, a second jump ball following the initial one is not permissible. Thus, recognizing that only one jump ball happens at the start of the game and overtime periods clarifies why the correct answer aligns with this understanding of game flow and possession rules.
