Well, this begs...oh, never mind.
What are the significant differences between NCAA mechanics and ASA/NFHS mechanics?
I have never attended an NCAA umpire clinic that covered mechanics in a comprehensive manner. The ones I've been to only go over rule changes, mechanics changes, and a lot of administrative requirements of the association. And I do have a CCA Manual, but it really only covers three-man, and I work a lot of two-man at the JuCo level.
The one I've heard of the most is rimming vs. button-hooking when I start in A. But what are the other major differences? Are there really that many? From partners I've worked with, I can't recall anything significantly different.
