You're just jealous because I can accomplish more than one thing at a time.

Hey, don't look at me; I didn't start this...

That's if you can catch him when he's awake.

Maybe I have the "old book", but in the NFHS 2005-2007 Official's Manual, numbers 273-275 pertain to time-out positioning. This states that both officials take positions opposite and facing the scorer's table on the nearest block. On 30-second time-outs, the officials take positions a the top of the arc. At the first horn, each official tells the huddle closest to them "first horn" and then assumes positions to resume play. Am I reading this wrong? I officiated in 1996-1998 in Oregon and the mechanic was the throw-in administering official took the ball to the throw-in spot and the other official took position mid-court opposite the table halfway between the center circle and the opposite sideline. I just want to get my mechanics straight as they've changed in the last 8 years! Thanks!

It's been changed.

Yep, that's from the "old" book. Follow the link JR posted - the Fed is essentially going back to what you remember from Oregon.

I'm going to go take another shower.

This is the book that the MHSAA (Michigan) sent to me...should I assume that we're using this mechanic? I've got JH Girls Basketball right now and the official rules meeting for us isn't until October for HS games...I guess I'll contact my assignor.

Thanks for the clarification M&M's!

Pre-game it with your partner, make a decision, and go with it.

I just got an email telling me that Honig's shipped mine out today.

My feelings exactly.

Seems logical to me, I haven't read the entire thread yet (page or so to go), but I would like to know what the actual procedure is defined to be

Here is the change for this in English. I should have just wrote this instead of trying to describe it in my own words.

The timeout and intermission postions have been changed so that the administering official will stand where the ball will be resumed and the non-adminstering official will stand facing the table on the division line (on the circle nearest the table for a 30 sec. TO and on the circle farthest from the table for a 60 second timeout.)

The Committe felt that keeping an official at the location of the ball (as opposed to the blocks) will eliminate questions during timeouts as to where the ball will be inbounded or where play will resume. The off-ball official will be near the table to handle any subs or questions from the table.

Now, if you are the reporting official at the top and the ball will be inbounded at the top. You will report, signal to the timer to start the TO clock, then go get the ball and stand at the inbound spot. The other official could be at the baseline (lead position), must now come to the division line. This official will also notify both teams of the first horn warning.

Huh ?

Okay, just for clarification.
The official who calls and reports the timeout will stand at the division line. The non-calling official takes the ball and stands where he/she will administer the ensuing throwin.

Well I guess you missed the part where I said I haven't read anything about the rule or mechanics changes which forced me to describe it in my own words.
