"Team Control" Mechanics
Dumb question.....but, anyone having difficulties with the new mechanics regarding "Team Control" foul action? Remembering to use the appropriate signal...administering the throw-in at POI.....how you communicate to partners and scorer's table....etc.....also, if opposing team is in bonus, we do not shoot bonus!
It's been a tough adjustment. Is it just me....or are others experiencing this same transition problem? Any hints or experiences that can be shared to help make this change easier to adjust to?

the biggest problem i am having is when i am trail/center coming up with the stop clock/foul signal with my "inside" arm so that i can do the "punch" in the opposite direction. we were told by our association that this is how they want it done so that the team control punch is in the direction where the ball will be going at the same time that the stop clock fist is up.....previously i have always stopped the clock with the same arm on every foul call, now i am having to conciously switch depending on which direction we are going which is EXTREMELY awkward....in terms of the mechanic itself, if i am going in the "right" direction=) it is stop clock, tc fist in direction ball will be going followed by preliminary signal (block, push, etc) then a point to the throw-in spot....i think the key is to do it consistently and slow so that partners/everyone else picks it up..

You know what you're supposed to be doing as far as mechinics, so my advice is to slow down. Just relax, keep your fist in the air while you gather your thoughts and then go about your business. When I was new, the problems I had with mechanics were just that I'd get excited and in a hurry. Remember, after you hit your whistle and stop play, nothing is going to happen until you take care of what you need to do.

so is everyone else but me ambidextrous or is anyone else having a problem coming up with the correct hand? i find myself often in the situation where i am having to stop the clock and give the tc signal with the same hand....not the end of the world, but not the "correct" mechanic either....easiest when you are lead, straight out in front of you!

Ohio has us not use the punch. We use the hand behind the head player control foul signal for ALL team control fouls. No Punch.
My problem is that I have a tendancy to punch the direction in an effort to sell the call. During one game, one of my assignors complemented me on my mechanics. The very next game, I was dinged for the punch!! Well. Which is it????? |

No Ohio does not use the Federation mechanic. But then, Ohio has always done things their own way. |
