First off, I think I would go nuts if they put the jump ball back into particularly the girls game. Officials, even back in the day typically didn't do a good job throwing up the ball. It is worse now with the lack of practice by officials and would get better if implemented. Secondly, girls that jump are few and far between. I can see the excitement watching two leapers going after the tip, but how often will that happen? I can see a whole lot of the taller, longer armed girl trying to bat a poorly thrown toss in the direction of a teammate. IMO not very exciting.
As far as this site contributing in any way to changes in anything.... I think it can. I know there are coaches, athletic directors, and others involved in athletics that either contribute or read posts on this site. And all change, good or bad, starts with an idea. And it doesn't matter where the idea comes from.
