It's unanimous!! WRONG
From these initial responses, I guess the answer might be that it doesn't matter if it's one foot or two as long as the mark is accurate for the U to key off of.
However, it seems to me that a mechanic that is this fundamental ought to be consistent throughout an association if not throughout the officiating community! These are the kind of things that frustrate the new guys (think back to when we were rookies). Each week they are instructed to practice a different mechanic by the individuals they work with. Some officials demean these guys (I don't get this mentality from senior guys, but I see it all the time) if they're not using THEIR mechanic. And, it may be the one or two foot mechanic preferred by the R or U from the previous week.
Not a big deal, just a critque of how we can improve our art!
(There are probably more important things to worry about like world peace, the economy, etc., but we can't agree on them either)
