I agree witht he out of bounds... I dont always use it. If its not obvious that it went out of bands like his foot touched it or the ball hit the line or something then I'll put my hand in the air first.

I've been using the spread arms for closely guarded. I was using it before I realized it was an actual mechanic. "How come I'cant get my 5 sec count?" I just spread my arms out and BAM! everyone got it.... Amazing I say.

I like 2 man mechanics i think 30 sec timeouts should be at the circles (one on each side ) and 60 seconds at the top of the 3 pt arc or top of the key. Going down to the blocks is STUPID. Its like somone copied a 3-person manual and forgot to change that one section.

the whole hand point! I use two fingers when pointing... Its more like a point and not a navy signalman from WWII.

I like the NCAAs player control.(but I do use the fed signal) I use 75-85% of the prescribed Fed Mechanics(i'm trying to move up and you never know whos watching :-D - Besides i paid 150 bucks to goto camp to make my mechanics look good - might as well use 'em)... we dont always switch on fouls but definitly on shootfouls. But yeah - its the little things that I find make me feel more natural out on the court. I just hope we goto grey shirts soon... However I just got in my order of a new striped shirt :-/ I can still use it.
