idaho state tournament video, fun referee examples

So what's your point? Other than that IAABO doesn't follow the NFHS mechanics. The Idaho officials are not IAABO members.

As I said some local associations teach not to switch in the backcourt in 2-man. IAABO would fall into that category.

Connecticut IAABO Mechanics:
Arms extended not closely guarded signal.
Point to floor for two-point field goal try.
No long switches when foul is called in the backcourt and there is no change of possession or direction.
Team members are not allowed to congregate at midcourt during introductions.
Coaching Box must be marked. If home coach and/or home management refuse to designate coaching box with tape, the home team will not use a coaching box for that game. However, the visiting team will be allowed a coaching box. Notify Board Secretary or Commissioner the next day.

BTW nowhere does your post specify whether these mechanics are for 2-man, 3-man, or both.

As a new official I found the time markers and the comments from the more experienced referees to be helpful (very, even).

For me, and I'm sure many other newer officials as well, I would love to see more threads like this. I know it's probably a lot of work, but I appreciate it.

Kudos.

The two best ways to improve are court experience and watching film of yourself and good officials. Quality preparation isn't far behind.

No shot at Idaho officials... My reference was to the six eyes on the ball, meaning if that was the case, then you would have a crew of ball watchers. Which is no-no in my crews, and would probably be reiterated during halftime.

This was my only question. If this was a state championship, why only a 2-man crew?

Idaho won't go to 3-man, whether it is because of a money question or what, I don't know. It is 2-man in league, and I can understand an argument that the refs and players have done 2-man all season, and you wouldn't necassarily want refs using a system they haven't used all season.

It is about the same reason they don't have a shot clock, even after a full-game stall, in the state championship game, about 5 years ago. That's the way Idaho has always done it.🙁

Yeah, how silly of Idaho and those 42 other states which don't use a shot clock. 🙄

Nevadaref, I believe that the mechanics listed by BillyMac are used in Connecticut only. They are Connecticut adaptations of IAABO mechanics. IAABO does not recommend the use of the "not closely guarded" signal or pointing at the floor on a 2-point attempt, etc. (as far as I know).

IAABO only differs from the FED mechanics on a couple of points (one good and one bad, IMHO) and none of them is listed in Billy's post.

Not our IAABO board.

Thanks for clarification. I know that IAABO does have a mechanics manual and does a couple of things differently such as positioning on time-outs.

It looks like you only strengthen my point that SOME LOCAL associations alter the mechanics of the NFHS.

From Scrapper1: "IAABO only differs from the FED mechanics on a couple of points (one good and one bad, IMHO)"

Scrapper1: If you have time, can you highlight some of the differences between IAABO and NFHS mechanics? Also, I'm curious, which is the "good" one and which is the "bad" one?

Nevadaref: The Connecticut mechanics I listed are only for Connecticut, and, I believe, they are for two man games. In Connecticut, most regular season games are two man games, the last rounds of the state tournament are three man games.

Nevadaref

So your point in posting that Conn info was to support my statement that some local associations alter the NFHS mechanics, right? 🙂

Thank you.

I'm only aware of two differences in the 2-whistle system (which is mostly what I use).

1) NFHS says for the officials to stand on the blocks during a full time-out. IAABO says to have one official at the spot where the ball will be put in play and the other official at midcourt. That's the good one.

2) NFHS says that the Lead official is responsible for the nearer sideline all the way to the other endline. IAABO recommends an "optional" coverage in which the Trail official is responsible for the Lead's sideline above the FT line extended. When the Trail makes a call on that line, the offcials don't switch. I don't like this mechanic. Mostly just because it's not what I'm used to.
