3 Man Mechanics/ 2 Man Mechanics

Does anybody have (or know of) a visual that depicts the responsibilities of 3 man and 2 man mechanics. I have searched the internet, but to no success at this point. I am a rookie (noob) and have the opportunity to work 3 man this evening - want to brush up (ensure I know) my specific responsibilities. Thanks for the help!!

I'm sure there are some differences between this and NFHS but here you go:

Much appreciated - It does provide the main idea.

I have a rare 3-man this weekend too and am brushing up. In NFHS does the C also hand the ball to the free thrower on the first attempt and the rest of the attempts go to the L to administer?

No, the L administers all FTs, just like 2 person.

But you brought back memories of the old days, where the T in 2-person had to come in and administer ALL FTs. Scrub. Brain.

If he is reading the Louisianna mechanics guide you might want to read it too. From what I've seen when in town visiting family, they're still doing the 'dead' C mechanics (C/T don't rotate)

Unless they've changed it recently, the mechanics guide for 3-man posted by LHSSA is 20 years old and completely out-dated. It's not worth looking at imo.

And it should be burned. Those mechanics are old, old, old, old, when officials planted the C opposite and never rotated. Reminds me of the old 2-person days when we used to cross over to work in the Cadillac. Scrub. Brain. Again.

Find some other online source.

These are very basic, so take them for what they're worth, and when in doubt, follow the NFHS Official's Manual.
