NBA Mechanics vs D1 Mechanics
Help educate me here.
Is there a significant difference between 3 person mechanics in D1 and the NBA ? If you know one, and have done it one way for years, how difficult would it be to learn the other system ? curious m |

There's actually 3 mechanics.
NCAA Women's NCAA Men's NBA NBA and NCAA Women's are the closest as far as mechanics go. NCAA-W and NBA have the same court coverage. I believe NCAA-M is changing this year to the same also (but not 100% sure). The hardest thing for me was the difference between NCAA-M and NBA coverage (which like I said, I think is being changed). In NBA the lead has below the freethrow line extended, so he would signal 3-pointer. In NCAA-M (before any change), the lead has freethrow line extended inside the 3-point arc. So the trail would have any matchup outside the threepoint line on the side. Other than that the other differences are minimal. NBA/NCAA-W use two handed reporting, NCAA-M is one. There's some other minor mechanic differences but that's pretty much it. |

There's a tremendous amount of difference in the rules as opposed to mechanics. For example, in college these items don't exist or the rule is different, to name a few:
Loose ball foul Restricted area Defensive 3 seconds Advancing the ball to the FC on TO Backcourt situations Shot clock 3 tenths rule Flagrant vs. intentional fouls Continuation Jump stops Inbounds spot on violations/fouls Held balls As for mechanics, there are basic differences in: Floor coverage Hand signals Flex (rotation) Post officiating And just basic officiating philosophy And yes, to answer a question in the other thread, I'm sure officials like John Clougherty, Jim Burr, Tim Higgins, Ted Valentine, all of whom have worked numerous Final Fours and NC games feel they've reached all the goals they've set in officiating.
