Why should the Trail have to go down there to administer the throw-in when the Lead is 3 feet away? ![]()

I don't know what his footprint is, I was asked who my source was and thats the guy. He was putting everything in the context of the playoff assignments . |

So it seems like Ohio is not 100% NFHS mechanics.

Please Forgive the Length...
NFHS mechanics:
Lead bouncing the ball across the corner to administer a throw-in is... ...allowed for two-person ("The throw-in is administered by the official responsible for the boundary line.")... ...but not for three-person ("In the frontcourt, the throw-in is administered by the official responsible for the boundary line.") Simple enough. But let's not, for the sake of a mechanic either cherished or detested, overlook one significant thing: It's a legitimate PCA issue more than anything. I.e., after distributing the ball to the thrower, what kind of surveillance is the administering official providing? New officials, particularly, are -- I think due to an engrained habit picked up by the legitimate two-person mechanic -- inclined to focus on the player defending the thrower and the thrower him/herself to the detriment of low post play. Lead's focus on the torsos and the elbows of players in his primary away from the throw-in goes lacking. This is the problem seen also with many Lead officials doing three-person who bounce the ball across the corner. Rather than pass the surveillance of the thrower and defender there off to the Trail and turning attention inward, his/her need for avid attention on the jostling going on in his/her primary down low is ignored. This is observed time and time and time again with new officials. Enough that it's just a lot easier maintaining the correct three-person mechanic stated above and teach the Lead to look inside during the throw-in, unencumbered by the perceived need or lingering habit to look at the throw-in outside his/her primary. Good officials at Trail can easily perform this prescribed mechanic and they are observed doing so regularly without incident. There's really no good reason, other than personal preference and perhaps expediency, to vary from the mechanic, if that's what you're asked to follow. Is this a legitimate point?

![]() I'd love to be able to do this in my state too but alas. I think it certainly makes things easier for the Trail, especially when the throw-in is very close to the endline. Let's be honest, does it really matter who bounces the ball to the thrower? ![]() |

I just don't like taking the other 8 players out of my field of vision for no good reason. When you go low and look back up through the play, you lose all coverage of the corner and any activity originating form there (approaching screens, e.g.) and there is no one else that will be covering that. Honestly, that topic is just silliness...and that is why you keep seeing varied opinions. It matters not one bit. It is a moving target that will change 1 day after you switch your stance. The same guy that is telling you to go parallel (or otherwise) will, after everyone is going parallel, will shift to 45 so he can tell you something to change again.
