There is no such animal as IAABO mechanics.
While that is technically true. . .

If you look at your IAABO High School Handbook, you will see that the officials' manual that is contained it, is the NFHS Officials' Manual.
This, at least in my Handbook, is not true. This year, my handbook contains a hybrid of IAABO and FED mechanics. All the FED 2-whistle mechanics have been replaced with nifty E-Court diagrams (in color) and the cover page of my Officials' Manual says "IAABO" for 2004-2005, not NFHS for 2003-2005.

My Officials' Manual tells me that the correct positions for a 2-whistle crew during a full TO are: one official at midcourt, halfway between the circle and the sideline opposite the table, and the other official at the spot of the ensuing throw-in (pg. 60; and diagram, pg. 62).

That is not the FED mechanic, (as I found out earler this season (from some folks here on the forum), and yet there it is in my IAABO Handbook.

Chuck:

I have not received my IAABO Handbooks (both H.S. and College), so I was basing my remarks upon my 2003-04 Handbooks (both H.S. and College). Don't ask me why I haven't received my Handbooks for this year because that is another story.

Did you see my post in the thread about being fouled in the act of shooting and the shot clock expiring?
