The majority of NCAA officials also use calm mechanics. Like many things, some officials mimic what they see on TV. The NBA used to use exaggerated signals to sell a block or a good basket. We see some of that in the college ranks now. But I think the vast majority of college officials do not use outlandish or cartoonish signals.

We will agree to disagree on this one. I hate to name names but I will say that I've (in a group of officials) been told to do things one way only to see something different on national TV (by the same person). I've seen your mechanics and come tournament time, compare what you do (which is good) with some of the things we will see on TV. I don't think calm will be a good word to describe them.
