question for Texas Refs

[Nevadaref]

I'm not from Texas, but I have to assume that this exception is referring only to three person crew mechanics.

Furthermore, it appears that TASO does not use NFHS mechanics, but follows the NCAA mechanics because only the NCAA men made the change this year to have the Lead administer the sideline throw-ins below the FT line extended. Otherwise there would be no need for them to issue an this exception.

The correct NFHS procedure for both boys and girls high school games is given on page 62-63 of the new officials manual:
331.b.
In the frontcourt, the throw-in is administered by the official responsible for the boundary where the throw-in occurs. The officials not administering the throw-in shall use the "wide triangle" principle. The Lead administers all end line throw-ins and the Trail administers all sideline throw-ins. See Diagram 54.
