Don't disagree. I don't personally find the scissors the equivalent stance to some others. BUT, some of the absolute top guns in NCAA use it, and very successfully. Not one to drop names, although I very well could.

Just this one; two years ago, Willie Newman was ASKED by Emily to use the scissors in a highly televised NCAA game. Reasoning; it is approved, and she wanted it to be seen by the masses from a highly regarded umpire, and seen done CORRECTLY. (Not conjecture; verified to me personally by both Willie AND Emily, after I refused to accept third party).
