I would suggest if anybody has a chance to grab an NBA official's manual to do so. it is 20 times more in depth than the NFHS or CCA manual does. It has guidelines for plays, a performance standards section, and a self-performance section just to name a few.

Why would anyone want the NBA official's manual if they aren't doing games played under NBA rules?  Supervisors/evaluators don't take too kindly to officials who don't use the proper mechanics for their particular ruleset-- even in the....wait for it....SEC, believe it or not. Trot out NBA mechanics or procedures or philosophies in a high school or college game and you might be trotting out the door at the same time.

Jurassic it is so much more than mechanics. I assume you are picturing what an NFHS official's manual has in it. This is not the case for the NBA manual. Only about 20 pages is mechanics the other 100 covers many other things.
Snake eyes I recieved mine at Bob Delaney's camp along with a case book and rule book from the 04-05 season.

RefTn, I have seen the NBA official's manual. If you want to utilize what is in there, please do so. It's just my opinion that it ain't very smart to try and use pro mechanics and philosophies in MS games. Or high school games. Feel free to ignore my opinion though. That's certainly everybody's right. If whoever is responsible for assigning/evaluating you thinks you're doing the right thing, hey, go for it.

I agree with high school but my assignor for middle school does not care what we do as long as we get the plays right. This is a good area for me as far as mechanics are concerned to do those little things that i like that the NBA emphasizes.
