I was taught (as many were) to concentrate on mechanics early and keep using them. I'm a firm believer in using the fist or the open hand to stop the clock. Going straight to the mechanic can cause problems. Last week there was a thread stating that there were 3 blarges called in NCAA DI games. If the proper mechanic of stopping the clock with a fist were used, these calls shouldn't happen. The NCAA guys are great officials and I have tons of respect for them, but I'd like to see the fist and open hand used more.
