OK, I'm confused...in this post you said that it's poor positioning and you shouldn't move after administering the ball, but in your next post on this topic (if I knew how to include more than one quote, I would) you said to hand the ball to the thrower AND THEN MOVE BACK A FEW STEPS...so basically, when it comes to throw-ins on the endline in backcourt, you've just proven to us why it's a good idea to bounce the ball to the thrower, which I believe is allowed under NFHS mechanics...or am I reading your posts wrong?

We are aware of what the NF mechanic is, but the powers that be do not agree with it how officials were using one part of that mechanic. So they took away one of the options. I happen to agree with the officials from the IHSA on this. We have been using that mechanic for 2 years now and I have been using it religiously myself with no problems. Remember the NF gave us the option, they did not say you had to do one thing or the other. If the IHSA told us to bounce the ball if we wanted to, I would not bounce the ball ever. I know the NF gives us the option of being inside the thrower (in the FC) or outside the thrower on the end line. I only hand the ball on the outside because I feel I am in better position to call the play. Does that make me personally not compliant with the NF because I have found something that works for me?
Peace

I could care less if you stood on your head and drop-kicked it to the thrower in Illinois...just didn't like the fact that jeffpea asserted that it was "bad" to do something, and then in the next post told us to do that "bad" thing... seemed kinda contradictory to me and I wanted a clarification of that point, not your justification for why you do one thing or the other...
