I know some assignors are anal about this -- one college assignor at a camp I went to last year requires his officials to ALWAYS call fouls with the outside hand. Figured he must have a pretty good staff if that's one of his big concerns, which it seemed to be.

you are right on the lead it wouldn't matter....gotta love the consistency among associations with a federation mechanic...the whole inside hand up, opposite punching the other way that i was told is contrary to what you were told...granted that was a college assignor, but still i guarantee there is not consistency in HS even as to how this is being taught...and as JR says sometimes as silly as it is an evaluation could come down to something like that....i am not a state finals caliber official at this point, but would like to be at some point and i would like to develop the correct habit...if i could only find out what the correct habit is
