I wish NFHS mechanics indicated...

Really? There is no standard high school mechanic... but actually there is? Oh! I see, because that's the way they do it in college, so of course a renegade official will do it the collegiate way, and of course the table personnel will know the college way and totally get it right.

And you don't see any confusion happening? None at all?

Look... my comment had to do with the NF not having a standard way of reporting, and giving an example of what could potentially happen. I went on to point out that confusion was more likely at the high school level due to poor table personnel, and could have gone on about the many poor high school officials (we all know some).

The response made it seem like some places do use 2-handed mechanics, and they are standardized (by an association, league, or whatever), hence me saying I was wrong. I actually backed off my original response, and took back what I said saying I was wrong.

And apparently I'm the problem? Now that's confusing.

I do not know why you would be taking this all so personal. For one the NF does not have any such mechanic for reporting fouls other than using one hand. The other levels use two-hand reporting, not the NF at this time. So if they decide to adopt that mechanic, I am sure they would say how it is to be done or not done. Not many options of course, but I would not put it past the NF to have a different standard. Now if your state as adopted this method already, then they might just stick with that standard. But all that has been said and it is true, the NF has not adopted this method, no more than they have told us that we are to report fouls outside of the reporting area, but official do this all the time outside of the NF stated mechanics.
