Most officials calling our AAU games are used to mostly calling High School games under NFHS rules and some aren't quite up to date on the NCAA womens rules (e.g., lane positioning for free throws, play the release or play the
rim, etc). I've tried to get these types of things clarified before the game, but don't want it viewed as some kind of "tactic". It's a tricky situation when a referee lapses into calling NFHS rules out of habit.
It's the responsiblity of the booking agent to make sure the officials are aware of NCAA differences used in AAU play. But I don't see a problem with speaking with the officials about this type of thing prior to the toss. I normally go to both coaches to make sure that they're aware of the differences!

Thanks for clarifying.
