Junker, I was told that your mechanics for college are what get you found. It's not that these guys are laxed in their signals, it is that they don't have to act like robots. I went to an NBA referee's camp and he doesn't want you to give a pushing foul when you can give some type of body bump signal that farther clarifies things for the players, coaches, and last and least, the fans. That is also what my future assignor,god willing i make it there, wants us to do. He is a true believer in the NBA philosophies, as am I(there 3 man rotation is awesome).
You also asked if you thought they were more lax because you thought it took them out of the spotlight. I personally think it is the other way around. I think high school officials are out of the spotlight because they all have to give the same signals and everything. In the college ranks you can give whatever signals you want, in other words you can have your own style. I was told when you blow that whistle, that you need to act like all the lights went out and there is just a spotlight on you, and once you have reported the lights come back up and you are back to work.
