You're right. Certainly not a disaster.
But I wasn't just spouting off about the signal typo. I was spouting off about the whole switch from NFHS mechanics to IAABO mechanics. We were never told why. Never. What the heck was so bad about NFHS mechanics that we had to switch? There have been several other errors, or problems, or unannounced changes, since the switch. Some have involved out of bounds responsibilities in a half court set, and in transition. Another was an option on a front court endline throwin administration. In some cases options have been suggested, but it was never stated what mechanic the option was to. Just an option. No original mechanic.
Please note the title of my post #26. It's got a secret double meaning. Send me a self addressed, stamped envelope, and I'll send you a secret decoder ring. It's the same one the Mythbusters use.
On top of that, and this is more of a local problem than an "international" one, we have veteran officials who are still using NFHS mechanics.
