State-by-State Mechanical Differences
Here in Ohio there are a few things we do differently than other states.
We are instructed not to use the NFHS team control signal when signaling a team control foul. Instead we are told to use the NFHS player-control signal for all player- and team-control fouls. This has been the case since OHSAA added the mechanic eight years ago.
Ohio officials in Central Ohio are told not to sound the whistle when the horn sounds to end a period. Even if there is a last-second shot that is going to be a close call, officials are being told not to hit the whistle and to only wave the basket off immediately.
Are there differences in other parts of the country?
