Need quick, basic info on 3 person mechanics!!

Lotto · #1 (**permalink**) Fri Nov 07, 2003, 09:00pm

I know this has been asked before several times, but the search function has been disabled so I don't know how else to get the information so I'm asking again.

I'm strictly a 2 person mechanics HS ref and I've been asked to help out at a scrimmage tomorrow using 3 person mechanics. I know some of the basics, but I could use a quick tutorial. Is there a web page or a download somewhere that I could refer to?

Thanks for the help!!!

A kind soul posted this link a few days ago. It has the manual on it. when you get in, look for "3 man basketball mechanics", and click on that. It's in Word or pdf.

http://lhsaa.org/officialsfiles/officialsmanuals.htm

Note that this is last year's manual. For the updates, go to this link:

http://www.nfhs.org/Sports/basketbal...l_changes.html

This is the high school mechanics.

Hey Lotto, I found this, http://www.obbr.tk. It is in PDF format but does show the mechanics. Hope it helps.

For $6.50 you can order the nf manual. To get it right, attend a camp and learn from the best. Teaching something you haven't done your self? Good luck.

Like I said, it's NCAAW, not NF. And it's today, so there's no time to order the manual or attend a camp. And I'm not teaching, I'm working---helping out a fellow ref who was short and asked me to fill in. And I just wanted to spend a little time going over mechanics so I'd be a little less clueless when I walked in the door.
