NBA mechanics are the best mechanics in basketball! From NFHS to NCAA they are definitley the best. Women's NCAA is close to the NBA...the major difference being dead ball mechanics. All the people who bad mouth them out there are those who have never used them or learned why they do what they do. It makes no sense for a Lead or Trail to go all the way to the table on non shooting fouls to report. Also, why to you have to use a foul on the arm signal when reporting if the guy got smacked upside his head. Not believable. In pro mechanics you can show what the foul was. Also their new on court mechanics and rotations are much better. The officials are on the floor more dictating the angles on plays...NBA officials are taught to never be "squared up" with a sideline or baseline. They stress "slot with a trail mentality". As soon as the ball settles or pauses on either side the lead has to rotate. Slot can rotate topside before the lead comes over or completes a rotation. They always have two officials on ball side/strong side.
