"Designated Spot" ???
I worked my first games of the season today, four Catholic middle school junior varsity games. Connecticut is a 100% IAABO state and our interpreter wants us to use the new IAABO mechanic of verbalizing “designated spot” for all designated spot throwins.
For the past twenty-eight years I've only done this on endline in the throwin team's backcourt. Never on a sideline. Never on the throwin team's frontcourt endline.
No matter how hard I tried, I could not get use to this new mechanic. Is anybody else using this new IAABO mechanic? Does anybody else think that it's stupid?
IAABO also wants us to keep our hand away from our face when reporting fouls to the table. I had a tough time with this today, but eventually I think that I'll get the hang of it.
