Summary – NFHS 2011-12 Basketball Changes Page No. 3 2011-13 MAJOR MECHANICS CHANGES

2.2.2.C.6 New

Crew of Two Only: The Trail will mirror the Lead’s stop-and start-clock (chop) signal to ensure proper court coverage. Rationale: This is the three-person mechanic. Too many times in a crew of two it is hard for the timer to see the Lead start the clock. This was the rationale for three-person mechanics, so the same technique should be used for a crew of two. It is also good training for those transitioning from a crew of two to three.

2.4.4.B.4 3.4.4.B.4

A visible signal (point to the table) was added to indicate when the timer should start the clock on a time-out. Rationale: Helps to provide consistent administration of time-out situations.
