Allow me to clarify. Having worked LOTS of rec ball in my first two years, I saw many instances of no switching, reporting from the endline, telegraphing reporting, not chopping the clock (because there was always a running clock until the last two minutes of the half), no visible counts on 10 seconds or five seconds. Perhaps the mechanics weren't different, but from a new official's point of view, rec ball and high school ball were two different animals. I was warned a number of times by well respected clinicians that rec ball is fine, but to be careful that rec ball habits do not creep into calling high school.
