FT Administration

Originally posted by BktBallRef
When the season started, many officials complained about the new FT mechanics. You know, lead administers all FTs and the trail or center doesn't step in. Some states didn't even implement the changes. So now that the season is over, how does everyone who used the new mechanics feel about them?

1- Did you have problems, as center or trail, remembering not to step into the lane?

2- Where there any problems with the wrong number of shots being awarded?

3- Did the change help the pace of the game?

4- Do you like the changes, now that you've used them for a season?

It just seems as there was so much complaining prior to the season, yet I didn't hear any griping after the season started. Perhaps it wasn't as bad as everyone thought it would be.

No problems at all. Our board implemented an eye contact and signal to the new lead . After reporting to the table while walking to foul line extended we would make eye contact with the lead and visually signal number of free throws. it worked perfectly
