I hate it when IAABO International makes mechanics changes and doesn't publicize them. I'm on our mechanics training committee and just last week I told our trainees that they have to hand the ball on all front court endline throwins, the way it was for the first thirty-eight years that I officiated. Now I have to go to tonight's training meeting with my tail between my legs and tell the trainees, "Never mind".
