Jordan's 63 pt game - Game 2 of 1st round 1986 Eastern Conference Playoffs

Found one quote. This is from Earl Strom's "Calling the Shots", so it's nothing official, but it quotes, "The third man could only call things like three-second violations, out-of-bounds plays, and goaltending, and so..."

Tuesday night and nothing on TV...come on, what about American Idol? Randy, Paula and Simon are quality programming.

Earl is my idol (no reference to that stupid show in the post above) and in his book he also mentions that one year, the league (on the recommendation of coaches) had him and Mendy Rudolph work every game of the finals.

Amazing.

If I'm not mistaken, the pro 2-man mechanic is different than the normal 2-man mechanics. The officials always officiate to the left of the ball, but the lead does go strong side. That may be why you saw an official running across the court in transition.

makes sense, and thanks for the tip

I said it was "weird" but only because it was strange to me and my limited knowledge of the other mechanics that we aren't taught.
