It had to happen eventually.

Hartsy, this is proper mechanic for 3 man. Although you should turn your hand at an angle so you can distinguish it from STOP sign. Trail chops in clock on every throw-in. In Georgia, we had trail chop in even in 2 man. Other than that, my heart goes out to ya, man!

It's not standard 3-person mechanic everywhere (I don't think it's the FED standard, but since we don't use the FED mechanics book, I don't know for sure).

When it's used in NCAAW, the T doesn't hold up his/her hand until the L is ready to administer the throw-in (and gives the whistle). This is one way to distinguish the "chop" from the "stop" sign.

Bob...you guys whistle every throw-in for NFHS or just NCAAW?

That's not the proper mechanic in these parts...

the official administering the throw-in chops the clock.

OK. Let me be more specific. It is the mechanic used in GHSAA. There may be other states also that use it. I prefer it. Table prefers it.

I would prefer it also.

Not the Fed 3-man mechanic. NCAAW

It is the NCAAW mechanic only on the throw-in baseline in the front court.
The trail then chops time to assist the table in seeing when to start the clock.

It is also mechanic for GHSAA which follows NCAAW

the NCAAW mechanic is specific to that inbound only, which is not what you say in your comment you just say the first throw in and you make a blanket statement that it is the proper mechanic for 3-man which it is not - and I'm not from G (Georgia?) HSAA - I do not know that you do not conform to the FED mechanics.
please be specific.

And when the L administers the throw-in on the sideline.

My statement was correct.
