What you're talking about is completely irrelevant when you're trying to determine whether someone is a capable, knowledgeable and proficient official. I've met and talked to a ton of evaluators/assignors and I've never met one that thought something as trivial as this was important. Yes, you might mention it to someone. But if they wander a bit for some reason, who cares? We care if they can do the job during the game.

And what is that "job"? Is switching properly part of that job? Is using the correct foul mechanic? Is using a wrist flip on a FT? It all adds up is my point. Add to that a blatant statement that he REFUSES - well....
As a former HS varsity coach, if I was led to believe the ball was coming out under the basket when a mechanic was in place to specifically show me (and it used to be this way - not really new) and it came out on the sideline by halfcourt, and it cost me, I would have the refs head in a vice.
I respect your opinion. We just disagree.
