There's actually 3 mechanics.
NCAA Women's
NCAA Men's
NBA
NBA and NCAA Women's are the closest as far as mechanics go. NCAA-W and NBA have the same court coverage. I believe NCAA-M is changing this year to the same also (but not 100% sure).
The hardest thing for me was the difference between NCAA-M and NBA coverage (which like I said, I think is being changed).
In NBA the lead has below the freethrow line extended, so he would signal 3-pointer.
In NCAA-M (before any change), the lead has freethrow line extended inside the 3-point arc. So the trail would have any matchup outside the threepoint line on the side.
Other than that the other differences are minimal.
NBA/NCAA-W use two handed reporting, NCAA-M is one. There's some other minor mechanic differences but that's pretty much it.
