Who says that "chopping" symbol is acceptable in college?

My college assignor....
It may be acceptable to your college assignor but that's got nuthin' to do with the statements above. If your college assignor tells you to use non-NCAA approved mechanics, so be it. If he tells you to stand on your head while making the signal, so be it. You'd best listen to him. That still doesn't change the fact that the proper NCAA block signal, as shown in their rulebook, is not the signal/mechanic your assignor is telling you to use.

There is no difference in block mechanics between NCAA and NFHS rules if an official is using the proper and right mechanic for each ruleset, as shown in their respective books. They are completely identical. That was Chuck's point.

JR...next time you watch a college game...count the number of times that the mechanic is done properly....that is my point ! [/B][/QUOTE]That might be your point now, but it wasn't the point being discussed above. Your answer above said that it was a difference in mechanics. That answer is wrong. It is not a difference in mechanics. It is officials using their own mechanics instead of NCAA approved mechanics. No big deal- except Chuck's statement was right.
