Dave hits on a point here with his notations about the "slight" differences between NCAA & ASA. While on paper they seem very similar, in practice there is something that hasn't been mentioned, personal preference.
Like it or not, those entrusted to the training with the local associations have their own idea of what is right or wrong or required.
Purley through observation, the two acceptable mechanics are not at close in practice as they are on paper. Too many folks want to be like MLB umpires and throw that signal low and out in front of the of the body where there is limited visuals available.
Even among themselves, the umpires who work NCAA & ASA discuss the difference and necessary adjustments to work the respective games.
