how should someone practice for the next level if he doesnt practice the mechanic. highschool games(florida) are the best place acquire the skills for the next level. if being the best highschool ref. is your goal, then dont practice the mechanic. as it appears mark d. has ambitions above the highschool level bktballref.

An official should use the mechanic based on the level they are officiating. If Mark is only doing intramurals and has yet to work a HS game, why should he be polishing his college mechanics? This attitude (showboating some call it) will get you nowhere with your peers and those that are evaluating you at the HS level. Mark, perfect one level before worrying about another.
