So I use HS mechanics for my HS games. How 'bout that?

You have to do what is done in your area. I think that it is unfortunate that you have to use NCAA rules for your HS girls games, but that's the way it is. (Of course, I would like to see the NCAA and NFHS rules merged and become the same for both levels of play. However, that is just a fantasy.)

Now I am confused about exactly what you folks do back there. Could you provide some more detail?
1. Do you use straight NCAAW rules for these games or a hybrid of those and NFHS?
2. Same question for your mechanics. Although you have indicated that these are not done by the NCAAW book.

Here's why I ask:

Under NFHS this would be a double foul. The two officials are not permitted to come together and decide upon only one call.
Under NCAAW, the two officials are to get together and decide upon a single call. It is my understanding that a double foul is not permissible in this case.

So which way do you do it in NY?
