two -person mechanic

We also used the mechanic in a scrimmage last night. Two issues - 1)We ended up not switching on shooting fouls called by Trail; 2)Much more awkward being aware of subs reporting - especially since the table was not blowing the horn during the scrimmage, and 1 coach consistently subbed after the ball was at the disposal of the shooter for the second shot. District clinic tonight - maybe we will get some clarification.

1) That's right...but even with the old 2-person mechanics, you didn't switch on some fouls (no long switches, for example). That's now the case for more fouls that it used to.

2) You'll get in the habit quickly as trail official to look over your shoulder at the table for subs before the last FT.
