I wish NFHS mechanics indicated...

I would much rather the NFHS allow two-handed reporting.

I would love the opportunity to go tableside after a foul. We do 2-man.

You do if there will be FTs.

Really? That is such a meaningless distinction that adds absolutely nothing to the game or your ability to officiate.

Nor does going opposite table after reporting.

I think there is more purpose for what side we go to after a foul than there is if we report 2 hands or 1.

I'm surprised to see this thread turn into an argument about something that has nothing to do with the original post. I wish that would happen more here.

Then why don't we have the option to report with two hands under NFHS mechanics?

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.

Because that is a college (and pro) mechanic. And for the record your jurisdiction can do whatever the heck they want in this area. Mechanics are not something we are all tied to either way. If your state or associations wants to do something else, that is their right. The NF is a starting point for most of us, but not everything has to be done to the letter of the NF mechanics.

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.

Sure, but the reality is that a lot of states use NFHS mechanics to the letter and are not going to make changes on their own.

I don't agree that two handed reporting makes anything more complicated.
