Are you serious? No concrete handcheck guidelines?

I realize that you don't have a clue when it comes to high school rules. That's kind of forgivable because, as per your own admission, you'd never done a high school game of any kind in your life up until this current season. And you probably still haven't. Trust me though, the FED sureasheck has issued concrete handcheck guidelines. But....you also told us that you're an NCAA college official. If so, don't you own an NCAA rule book? If you do, take a look on p.184. Be damned if that page isn't labelled and doesn't talk about "handchecking". Also, if you go to eofficials.com, you can watch the 2006-07 Men's Basketball Officiating Instructional Video- Chapter 6 - Handchecking, as put out by the NCAA for all of it's officials. I would imagine that most real NCAA officials have already seen it and used it as part of their training already.

No concrete handcheck guidelines? Lah me......
