Thanks for the input everyone.
The comments that this might have been an old mechanic or an NCAA mechanic make sense. Mentor has 18 years experience and was telling me that is how he was taught it by his mentor some years back. Our association switched from NCAA to NF this year and in my opinion some of the more experienced (old) refs in are association get confused and use the NCAA mechanics/rules. Since I am new and never really knew the NCAA mechanics/rules that well I don't have that problem.
Can anyone confirm if this is an NCAA mechanic or former NCAA mechanic?
FYI-I reffed 3 man girls HS with this mentor many times but this was our first 2 man together. (off season men alumni game). P pregamed that the game will probably be more physical than we are used to so we should use this mechanic. We never did use it in the game. I came over from the L a couple times as discussed but play ended before P could transfer over. P never initiated it when he was L.
