We are relatively small compared to many other high school chapters; however, we have had our fair share of NCAA officials who swear by the rim, and a few years ago we started teaching the mechanics to our higher-end officials.
We refer to it as working "smarter" and push the principle of knowing ball status at all times.
We believe we have been successful in improving our level of competency.
Just wondering what other chapters are doing out there . . .

A HS officiating group was doing that a few years ago and was ORDERED to stop or lose their allotment to the playoffs.
Personally, I don't buy into the premise of it being a smarter or that it provides anyone with a better idea of the ball's status.
