Tomegun,

I'm not familiar at all with the pro-style two man mechanics. I know I've looked up the NBA rules on NBA.com, perhaps I'll go look up to see if the mechanics are published anywhere (if you know any sites, let me know).

Honestly, I think while the league uses NBA rules, the guys working it look at it as a way to earn money versus learning to work different mechanics.

I do get your point though. College and high school mechanics are more similar than NBA mechanics. However, at the end of the day, it's just a matter of learning it and making it a part of your "muscle memory".

Just want it to be known that the rules on the NBA site are outdated by about 3 or 4 years. Plenty of rule changes have been made since then.

Can't they afford a website manager person?

Not yet - they need to cut the officials' salaries first.

Nah...they just don't actually use them that often, so what's the point?

Are you sure? Seems like this copy contains all the rule changes from the 2008-2009 season. What exactly is missing in this copy?

Just FYI, if you've ever seen or heard about a pdf copy of a rules set (or other document) and later can't find it, just do a google search like: "filetypedf site:nba.com" and you'll get a list of all pdf files on that site. I've found tons of stuff -- usually not sports related -- that way.
