Your worst mechanic?
Not really a mechanic, but I tend to use the wrong signal as shooter goes up and shot is partially blocked as he/she returns to floor. I signal illegal dribble for some strange reason. Just did it the other night. Partners didn't catch it, nobody notices, it but you feel silly.
It's fess up Friday......... |
Sometimes, when a player gets clobbered going to the hoop, I'll signal a cross-check. Seems appropriate.
Of course, I'm sure most guys here will say they've worked with someone who signals a double foul for a 60 second timeout. |

college
My problem is keeping high school and college mechanic seperate. I have a habit of not stopping the clock in HS on out of bounds. ( i just point direction) and I have started a BC count once or twice in college women's
Which I realize when I get to 3. :( |

Was it a NFHS disseminated mechanic or one you have borrowed from our baseball brethren? If it's the latter case, do us all a favor and remove it from your repertoire except for those instances it communicates something meaningful to your partner. These instances almost always relate to backcourt and OOB. |

BAd habit, but it does defuse situations. A1 catches ball and juggles/bobbles it. Coach starts yelling for a travel. I make a juggling motion while looking at him. (I don't want to shout across court) I find it communicates effectively what I saw to the coach and does eliminate unnecessary noise.

Anticipating a call and suddenly realizing I better scratch my head or ear instead.

Something I haven't really thought about until this topic was posted, but how many revolutions do you typically make on your travel mechanic? I make 3, but I've seen some only make 1. It seems to be the most cumbersome mechanic visually.

SAJ, what part of Nebraska are you in?
