The issue with camp games (and summer ball, AAU, and lots of other off-season basketball) are all of the illegal numbers. I turn my hand sideways for digits 6 and greater (e.g. "7" = sideways 2). This will be tricky for officials and table personnel new to 2H reporting.

That's what a guy I work with does too. During summer ball or AAU where I'm not being observed, I just yell it 3 times from the other end of the court and put the ball back in play

Connecticut uses 99% IAABO (not NFHS) mechanics.

I can't wait to see if:

1) Connecticut switches to two hand reporting.

2) Connecticut switches to orally stating numbers rather than numerals (as we currently do), i.e., orally state, "Twenty-three", instead of, "Two. Three".

Connecticut wants you to say "Two-Three"?

When they tell you to pay your dues, do they say it will be "Five-Five dollars"?

Been that way for over thirty-five years. That's the way rookie officials are taught, and that's the way officials are evaluated.

Also, our annual board dues are One Two Five dollars.

Maybe things will change with the new two hand reporting, if we go in that direction using our IAABO mechanics.

Wow (assuming the decimal point goes where I suspect it does). What do you get for that big chunk of cash? Wow, again.

$125.00 is our fixed annual dues, no matter how many games you work, add to that a 7% fee based on our earnings.

There was a time when it was recommended in many literature that is how you reported. That was the case when I started. Now that being said, I did it for years to slow me down and not say multiple syllables for numbers. Never really had a problem with that method either. But I do understand why those do not like it, but again it was the way it was taught and the table people never were confused. I know the point was to stay away from the "teen..." numbers because they were multiple syllables.

Unless it's a running clock, in which case I walk slowly over to the table and help the scorer write the foul in the correct box before slowly walking back to administer the throw-in.
