Anyway, my point was only that I would rather see two hands allowed as opposed to going opposite if I had to choose an NFHS mechanics change. |

I would also assume that the reason there is only 1 hand reporting, is the fact that the NF (or any HS organization) wants to make things simple and to complicated. Peace

Two hand reporting can also be confusing for the table.
Say I want to report a foul on number "21", so I hold up two fingers on my left hand and one finger on my right. When looking at it from my viewpoint I'm showing "21", but from the table's viewpoint I'm showing number "12". And if the table can't hear me verbally say "21", they may give the foul to the wrong player, thus causing problems down the road. There needs to be a specific mechanic given by the NF for reporting player numbers with two hands, so that both the official and table know what to do/look for. However, there's not. So you're inevitably going to run into problems like I described. Therefore... keep it simple-stupid. BTW, I think we all have worked games with people at the table that are less than competent. And perhaps that's not as much of a problem at the college level, thus making two-handed foul reporting less of a problem. |

I also was not giving just my position on why there are not two handed reporting, but stated the NF position or what seems to be their philosophy on all their mechanics. Most of their mechanics are easier and standard so that everyone from the brand new official to the 50 year veteran can follow. Peace

This. Every level of two-handed reporting does it this way and any scorekeeper worth their salt should be able to handle two-handed reporting. Most of the time the scorekeeper knows who the foul is on anyway.

This mechanic was developed to relieve us from having to take our shoes and socks off to indicate a foul on a player whose number was higher than 10.

And I said I didn't know there was a high school standard. Thus making the prior comment about the confusion unnecessary or just wrong.
