Did anyone notice that Teddy Valentine was using two hand reporting in the Duke game? Also I noticed some two hand reporting in the UVA/VT games. IMHO, its alot easier than the one hand reporting and it slows you down too. Comments are welcomed.

My comments are we aren't supposed to do it in the men's game. If we do it, along with walking and talking, I think we need to work on making it look good. It is just another mechanic that I think can look weak or strong. There is a league we could use as an example but nobody watches that league.

I like the NBA walk and talk. I think it looks good and actually is easy to implement.
I think the keys are walk to same speed after every foul call. Speeding up or slowing down could be a tell that you're miffed (sp?). Think of playing Texas Hold 'Em. You look at your two pocket cards, then look up. If you look up right away, it often means you have two cards that are easy to remember, such as a pair or suited connectors. The key in Hold Em is to act the same no matter what cards you have. Other points: don't make eye contact with anyone except the table when you're reporting with the walk and talk.

I would have liked to seen it when Ted was doing it, because from what I heard John Clougherty (ACC supervisor) and Gerald Boudreaux(SEC supervisor) don't mind if you use it on a double number i.e., 22,33,44,55. Why they wouldn't care for any of the other numbers is beyond me.

The other legal numbers, other than double numbers, are single numbers. How can you use two-hand reporting on 0, 1 , 2 , 3 ,4 or 5? |

Now I agree with you. That's beyond me also. Doesn't make sense at all. |

I wish they'd quit doing that crap. I hate the way the NBA mechanics have filtered down to the college/prep level. I think we need to look different if for no other reason than we ARE different. There's too many people that think the rules for 7th grade and the NBA are the same. Sheesh, I had a guy argue with me for 5 minutes (I was sitting, waiting for my next game, otherwise, I'd have left) that we should only shoot one FT for a technical foul (this was back in the '90s when everyone south of the NBA shot 2 FTs). I couldn't convince him, even when my partner handed me his rule book and I showed him the text.
At any rate, it'd be one thing if there was a good reason to use two handed reporting or other NBA signals, but there isn't. One reason the NBA uses the mechanics it does is because it wants to be different from college/prep. |
