Now maybe Women's basketball shows some different signals in style, but they also look practically the same. The difference in all of the descriptions are the fact the animation is drawn differently. The NF has a cartoon, the CCA uses a Man and a Woman, which my understanding were created by NASO.

Perhaps the better description is not that they are college mechanics necessarily but they are not approved mechanics at all (but are often seen and accepted in college games).
