The mechanics are the same, but the presentation is much better in the IAABO manual. Illustrated, and much easier to understand.

Examples? How is the presentation better, and in what ways? What is easier to understand and why is it easier to understand?

What differences does the IAABO manual have re: illustrations that the FED Manual and Illustrated book don't have?

IAABO uses a computer program called "E-Court", which generates pictures of a basketball court and allows you to place officials where you want them, highlight areas of coverage, show the progression of a sequence of steps. It's presented more visually, instead of what I remember to be more text-based in the NFHS manual. Much easier to "see" what they're saying than in the NFHS book.

OK.

Now the FED also puts out their own computer program for Athletic Rules Study. They also have on-line stuff available for both "Officiating Procedures" and "Officiating Basketball Methods".

They also have mechanics and other training videos available iirc.
How is the IAABO stuff better, more-complete, etc. than what the FED is putting out? What are the differences and why are those differences better?

I'm going into the Jon Deibler Govoning Rehab Facility to help with my problem.
