Sorry
From JRutledge: "Who is the "we" you are referring to?"
Sorry. The "we" I am referring to is our local IAABO board, and we received these instructions from our local interpreter. I believe that all of the local IAABO boards in our state, Connecticut, have received the same instructions.
All of our Connecticut IAABO boards try to stay on the same page in terms of mechanics and interpretations, especially when they may vary with general NFHS guidelines or international IAABO guidelines. For example, the following were our "Connecticut mechanics" for the 2006-07 season: Arms extended not closely guarded signal. Point to floor for two-point field goal try. No long switches when foul is called in the backcourt and there is no change of possession or direction. Team members are not allowed to congregate at midcourt during introductions. Coaching Box must be marked. If home coach and/or home management refuse to designate coaching box with tape, the home team will not use a coaching box for that game. However, the visiting team will be allowed a coaching box. Notify Board Secretary or Commissioner the next day. Note that these do not fully follow either NFHS or IAABO mechanics guidelines.
