Mechanic for Team Control Foul

One of the guys works alot of D-1 as well, and he will be a clinician at two of the camps I attend this summer, so I will ask him about it then. I'm sure though that his answer will be something like, "It doesn't really matter what mechanic we used there, it clarified the situation for everyone."

Absolutely true for three guys doing the title game, but as someone trying to break in to that conference, I'll stick with the punch until told otherwise, because I believe it to be mechanically correct.

The punch is only mechanically correct in the women's game. NOT in NFHS games, not in NCAA-mens games as Rut alluded to.
