I have seen a lot of NCAA-M officials reporting using 2-Hand machanics this season. Most also chop the clock in as the trail as the lead on front court throw ins.

I'm seeing more and more of the two-handed signals on foul reporting at the JUCO levels around here.

Dumb question...

What is two-handed reporting? Is it referring to when you are reporting the foul using both hands (i.e. 2 fingers on one handed and 3 on the other to indicate foul on 23?)

No, and yes.

No, it was not a dumb question, and yes, two-handed reporting is using both hands for each digit of the player's number.

I saw this as well in the ACC Mens Tourney.

I wouldn't be surprised if the NCAAM switch over to using two hands next season...I work NCAAW and I prefer using 2 hands to report fouls.

So how about another stupid question...

With two hand reporting, I imagine you signal the player digits backwards (to you) so they read correctly from left to right for the table?

yes - 32 would be 3 with the right hand and 2 with the left.

Yes, and I cringed when I see officials who do it backwards, especially in games where 2-handed reporting is not the proper mechanic.

It takes some getting use to doing it, but once you start, you cant stop!!!!!!
