Hmmmmmm, interesting points.
At the WA state 2A boys playoffs, officials were advised to have the calling official (of a TO) report to the bench and then take your postion at the location of where the ball will be put into play.
Therefore, if an official is on ball and grants a time-out, that official will report the TO and then go back and stand at the spot of the ball, while the off official takes the division line. This was hard for some officials to grasp, as many officials did not do it this way during the season.
That is why I asked the original question.
It was a Point of Emphasis this year to make sure the Official was standing at the spot of the ball during a TO so the Coach would know where the ball would be for the ensuing Throw-in. (Not just the ball laying there, but the Official with it.)
Larry, it sounds to me like you are using a College mechanic during TO's...standing at the top of the key during a TO.
Also, "low box opposite side"...is this another college mechanic?
We use to "pre-game" that we would use "college mechanics" for the TO's...since we thought they looked better...but, that is not what our State wants.
Comments?
