At the first horn, each official tells the huddle closest to them "first horn" and then assumes positions to resume play. Am I reading this wrong? I officiated in 1996-1998 in Oregon and the mechanic was the throw-in administering official took the ball to the throw-in spot and the other official took position mid-court opposite the table halfway between the center circle and the opposite sideline. I just want to get my mechanics straight as they've changed in the last 8 years! Thanks!
Yep, that's from the "old" book. Follow the link JR posted - the Fed is essentially going back to what you remember from Oregon.

I'm going to go take another shower.
