"On The Floor" ???
Quote:
From the Mythbusters file: Over the back is not a foul. There must be illegal contact to have a foul. A taller player may often be able to get a rebound over a shorter player, even if the shorter player has good rebounding position. If the shorter player is displaced, then a pushing foul must be called. A rebounding player, with an inside position, while boxing out, is not allowed to push back or displace an opponent, which is a pushing foul. With rare exceptions, stick to the book. Call it a push. Don't call it, or signal it, "Over the back".

That is the part that bugs me. You can communicate with coaches like in Rich's example, but that differs from giving a signal at the table. Guys can be 'over the back' all night long, but if there isn't any contact, it's nothing. Maybe we need a 'cherry picking' mechanic.

It's Wild, It's Tricky, It's Wild And Tricky ...
I know more about the Latvian Gambit than I know about NCAA mechanics, but isn't this a proper mechanic for womens games.

Stay Away From It ...
Sounds too much like the infamous Boris Karloff mechanic (See image above).

It's easy as hell to tweak your officials' mechanics if you think they might be causing a problem. If the mechanics aren't causing a problem, ..... It's a helluva lot harder to tweak their play calling, judgment, etc. The most important mechanic by far is proper positioning imo. Signals are meant to convey information. If they do that, fine with me. |

Must be. All I know is, as hard it the mechanics are pushed on the newbies, you'd have to hold the vets to the same standard.

It's like calling out of your area? Are there times when it's appropriate and helpful? Sure, but the newer officials aren't as likely to understand the difference, and are more likely to see it as a license to ball watch.
