NBA officials have mechanics, it's just that staunch NF guys dont like them. NBA mechanics are for speed and efficiency. Many of the mechanics we use today originated in the NBA. Even in 2 person crews. I learned stong side mechanics in the 2 person game 3or 4 years before it was even mentioned. I learned "refereeing the defense" before it was popular among NF. Over the past few years I have learned more about how to referee man-to-man, weakside and perimeter rebounds, and basic floor coverage from the pros and more quickly than I would have from HS refs. Besides NBA mechanics and rules are fun, there is a lot we can learn from the NBA
