Jim,
Nobody here is reinventing the wheel. Jerry and I are talking about two different types of 3 man mechanics.
1. PBUC or PRO 3 Man - Situational mechanics with more advanced rotations. Ideal for higher levels of baseball with more experienced umpires who perhaps work the three man system throughout the year or are assigned with the same partners/crew for the season
2. CCA or College 3 Man - Standandized mechanics with basic positioning and rotations. Ideal for all levels of amateur baseball and for umpires that mainly work the two man system except for post season tournaments/playoff type assignments or who have different partners with varying degrees of experience
Both systems are excellent however, I would recommend most umpires learn the CCA 3 Man Mechanics first before trying any of the PRO 3 Man variations. Just my opinion

I know what you are saying Sal. Was just being kind of sarcastic in the reinventing the wheel comment. Rereading it, it didnot come off to well that way.. As said before Lah Meh..
I prefer the CCA mechanics myself. Fun part is we have a league around here that uses 3 man for the end of season City Championships. This is a little kid league. You should see the 3 man mechanics trying to be used when calling 3rd grade with the "no leading off, cannot come off the bag until ball leaves pitchers hand or else you are out" rule. I get a headache just thinking about it.
