Our instructional chair, new to the position this season, has college and pro basketball experience. He is also an associate of mine and we talk about things dealing with his position often. During our last meeting he told everyone that it is OK to report using two hands. As expected, some people were not happy and one official came to talk to me about it. I heard him out and offered him this compromise: once we start getting all of our plays right, we will worry about reporting with one hand or two. In the big scheme of things, it just doesn't matter. What matters more is introducing video clips to meetings, every meeting. What matters more is attempting to introduce absolutes into our game for consistency. What matters more is hustle and getting in the best position to see plays.

BNR has been around me enough to know I do like a friendly debate on mechanics though.
