Knee Jerk Reaction...Question

[JRutledge]

What the hell are you asking then? If you want all of the levels to be the same, that probably will never happen. As I said before, I really do not have enough knowledge about what is good mechanics or bad mechanics, because I am not a college official. But I do know several and a few that are at the D1 level, and all of them have told me about many of the differences and how it relates to different conferences. Now maybe the NCAA (or CCA) needs to set some standards that will satisfy you, but they probably will not anytime soon. I really do not see the need for uniformity like you suggest, who cares if the game is called properly and the partners on the game understand what is going on. Even when I work with officials that use some college mechanics, I do not care at all as long as they call their foul and tell me what we are doing after that. Their signals mean nothing to me, because it will affect them much more than it will affect me (and I am talking about post-season opportunities).

Well, if this is all that it takes to get you hot and bothered, I would really hate to see you out on a court where the pressure really is on.

I do know how assignors work...BUT that is NOT what I'm trying to get at! I'm not debating anything that the assignors do!! I know that there are different ones for almost every conference! Geesh!

I guess my plea to each level's officials for a standard set of mechanics will just go unheard...just disregard all my previous posts.
