At the state tournament, several officials did their "own thing" rather than the NFHS recommended mechanic. They all went home after the first day of officiating.

Just like anything else, states can adhere to their own logic on what is right and wrong as it relates to the mechanics or what fits it's officials. The NF is not God or is not the Supreme Being of what is Basketball or any other sport for that matter. States and school have the right to come up with their own way of doing things. The NF is just a guide to what the states want to follow. Some do not even adhere to all rules and experiment with their own rules and regulations. I just last night did a game with an Iowa team and an Illinois team, and I had to explain somethings because both states do not adhere to some very specific rules. That is just the way it is and will always be.
