I am a high school official and I have never called college ball and probably never will but have recently been attending some college D1 games - both men's and women's - and I have some questions about some of the mechanics. I notice that women's officials use a fist rammed forward like a jab to report a player control foul whereas men's officials use the pat on the back of the head as we high school officials use.
Also, women's officials switch table side when they call a foul and men's officials switch opposite as do we. I also think I noticed that college officials don't raise their hand to stop the clock on OOB calls but merely point the direction. The clock is not chopped on after a throwin in the same manner either. They seem to go from a raised hand to a shaking fist with their arm making a 90 degree angle at the elbow. "Really cool looking." Are these differences I've noticed the norm and are there many other differences in mechanics? Thanks, Ralph
