When using NFHS mechanics reporting a foul, I give color, number, type of foul, and then I point say the color of the team who has the OOB throw-in, and I point the direction they are going.

I've noticed in many college games, they just say, "out," and point to the spot of the throw in, which may be completely opposite from where the throw-in team is going.

Is there a difference in mechanics between NFHS and NCAA here, or am I just doing it wrong?

When all of your reporting is done, you should be pointing to the spot where the ball will be put in or telling everyone if you have a bonus or shooting situation. You should not be pointing in the direction in which you are going. That is improper.

Also in college...let's say team A shoots the ball a few times, there is alot of contact, but there is no call, and B comes out of a scrum with possession. At this point I've seen the lead point down the court. Is this a proper mechanic, or is the lead just "helping" his partners recognize the change of possession and aiding them in beating the fast break down to the other end?
Not aware of what you are talking about. Never seen that or recognized any kind of mechanic like this. But I am sure someone here has.
