In our area we do not go to the designated "reporting area" so yes the NF areas that do not use it. Most of our reporting is done someplace near the top of the three point arc on either side as long as we have a good view of the scorer's table. The philosophy behind this is that it reports sooner, less steps, and less time for a coach to talk about the call ( 3-6 steps each call) , and gets ball back in play sooner.

For the longest time we did not do long switches in the two-man game, but made us do them this year... What a waste of ime and effort.

For daves. Not birdogging is easy. It's another signal that needs to be eliminated or reduced to be used only when there is a cluster and you are idetifying the foul for people in the stands. 75% plus everyone knows including the 47th row who the foul is on, If not birdog. otherwise it would be better if we don't.

The mechanics can be simplified as shown by the NCAA women. It might happen eventually. It only took us a dozen years or so to figure out we could bounce the ball to players on an inbound throw-in....
