Sorry, but if you're from Texas, you're incorrect. Texas did not adopt the Fed mechanic. The calling official on a shooting foul goes tableside trail, both in 2 person and 3 person.

Well, this year I did not go with a TASO Chapter. There isn't one in this area, which means you end up driving too much. I went with a private group that calls mostly Tapps. Most of the guys were with the local chapter until it dissolved with SBOA. I was discussing this last night with the director and he agreed that we would call with the manual.

I am sorry to hear that Texas didn't concur with the NF. How can an official moniter substitutes, benches, timers, scorers with your back to the table. Doesn't make any sense to me. Not to mention that a hot tempered coach has plenty of time to vent under his breath, but just enough for you to hear.....

To find the reference go to www.taso.org and click on Basketball. There you will find a link to the texas exceptions from Fed mechanics.

Another example of how you cannot take everything the NF puts in that book. I know some people here might just jump off a building after hearing this information.

I believe the changes are instituted by the UIL, which governs play in Texas schools and then enforced by TASO.
