What were the 3-man mechanics during those days? Were you working this game Jurassic?

When 3-whistle first came to the NCAA, they did not use the "flex" rotations. Basically, they said that the Lead could go to either side of the lane, depending on where the ball was, but the the Trail and Center would not rotate. If the Lead went across the lane to the C's side, it was the L's responsibility to return to the "normal" side (which was table side, I believe). So it was not at all uncommon to have the L on the C's side and have the C stay right where he was, b/c he knew that the L was just going to go back eventually, even if it was in transition!!!

Chuck basically has the original 3-man mechanics. The C was always across from the table, and the L and T were always table side. Whoever called a foul went to the C position, and the other 2 guys switched. The C and T handled all throw-ins on their sidelines- front and backcourt. The lead came across when the ball came inside the FT line, but I don't remember us having the feeedom to go all of the across the endline. The far FT lane line extended was about where they they recommended as being the farthest that the L should go to, except to handle a throw-in on the end line. The L handled all throw-ins on the end line.
Might be something somewhere on this site. They have a lotta basketball history on it:
