NCAAW bounces across on end-line going long. It's not the FED mechanic, but it should be.

I think NCAAM went to it this year, too. Can an NCAAM official confirm or deny?

Yes, it should be the NFHS mechanic.

(If not going long, then they shouldn't be bouncing anyway.)

In NCAAW (and maybe NCAAM and hopefully NFHS one day), what do you do when going long with backcourt pressure? Still bounce across? Because that's a time you would not currently bounce (at all much less across) in NFHS mechanics.

NCAA-M you have the option of bouncing across the lane with no pressure in the backcourt. If there is pressure you should go across to administer.

Still bounce in NCAAW

I like the NF mechanic the way it is. I also am not aware of a change for the NCAAM to change the mechanic either. It looks lazy to me to bounce the ball across the lane.

We follow NFHS mechanics pretty closely, but here we are allowed to bounce across the lane in the backcourt. It helps save steps, especially in 2-person mechanics.

As far as the OP, it is a laziness issue.

From the Men's CCA Mechanics Manual:

T in-bounds ball on end-line. T is between the ball and the sideline on the table-side. If there is no defensive pressure, the T has the option of bouncing the ball to the player in-bounding the ball across the free-throw lane (indicated by location 2). This will minimize unnecessary movement by the new C and new L.
