I don't like being questioned about my partners call just because I'm the closest & I don't like coaches hollaring across my court...

T chops is good, I like that mechanic!
It looks as though HS tries to adapt the best NCAA mechanics from both sides. Must be a challenge for those of you who work both levels.

As far as 2 person goes, having the calling official become tableside T on FTs is cool, but administering the FTs at L & going opposite??? How confusing is THAT going to be working back & forth from 2 - 3 person night to night?? Not sure about that one, but here's an idea. How about no more 2 person, period!!

Yes, it was IAABO, not just our state. I remember administering the FT as trail in my first stint all those years ago. And holding the one-and-one signal with arms extended while counting with the trail finger. You guys don't know what you were missing. At least MOST of you guys.

speaking of this, we just got notice that my metro league will no longer be utilizing three at the JV level due to financial issues with the school districts. It was nice while it lasted.

I'm pretty sure that was statewide, in case that's not what you meant.

I am not sure if this was intended, but as written, this would be the implication.
