Well, the SEC preaches NBA mechanics in their system, and the guys that I know love it. That's one level of amateur basketball it has worked well. The NBA is also actively pursuing better relationships with other conferences to incorporate their mechanics......specifically the ACC. Remember the NBA created the 3 person system and also puts more time and money into developing it and making it better than anyone else. For instance, I have found that being in better position and more onto the floor in the slot/c and trail positions...getting "topside of the plays" and always refereeing form the "outside in" whenever possible has given me better "open angles" and ability to see plays on every level I work.

This is still your opinion. I have seen the NBA change to things or philosophies that were done at the college ranks in recent years. Philosophies like rotating from the lead position. The NBA officials move much more from the lead position then they have in many years. They used to get fixed in a position and hardly move regardless of where the ball would go.
I think Chuck illustrated point by point what I feel NBA mechanics as well. I think the main reason for the NBA to have the mechanics they do is because everyone is trained very well to know what the other people are doing. I do not see that as the case at the high school level or the lower level college levels.

The NBA has used accelerated Lead philosophy since at least the mid 90's. Yes, when everyone is on the same page it is a thing of beauty. Obviously that's easier to do when you only have to worry about 60 officials.
