OK, so I've gone out on a limb and made my views known. Anyone want to challenge me? Any women's officials want to stand shoulder to shoulder with me? Or is it me against the NCAA world?
What’s Wrong with NCAA Women’s Mechanics? — Part I http://basketball.officiating.com/x/article/3122 Looking forward to your views.

Not being a member of rightsports.com, I can't read the entire article, but reading the first few paragraphs makes it sound like you have three big complaints:
1)Going tableside after a call 2)The fact that these mechanics don't match anyone else's, and so we have to learn new mechanics 3)and the fact that L has a big area to cover as they rotate... Personally, I don't see any problem with any of these things...when I work an NCAA women's game, I use the proper floor coverage and mechanics, when I work something else I use their floor coverage and mechanics...I called fewer T's on coaches this year than any other because I was right there to discuss a call with them rather than having them yelling across the court...and while L has a large area to cover, the C and T know that and there is lots of help between the 3... I'm not really sure what the point of your articles is...do you want Women and Men to use the same mechanics? Do you just want the Women's mechanics to go back to what they were several years ago? What? Help me understand your concerns a little better than what I could get in the first few paragraphs, please... |

Well, I'll tell you what I remember about it. Mr. Dixon actually doesn't oppose the table side mechanic and it's reasoning to make us better communicator's. One of his gripes and arguments, that I remember, is that most college officials work far more high school ball than they do college ball so they aren't proficient enough with the mechanics and spend too much energy thinking instead of reacting. This is just my paraphrasing, but I think it is fairly accurate and I'm not going to go read all three one page articles again, I have a hard enough time getting through his articles once.

I hope my article gets published that I sent to Jim. I stated alot of positives about the women's mechanics. I have been using them for years now and have gotten comfortable with them. I use some of the things learned in my HS games as well. I think that is one wants to become proficient at the mechanics, one must choose his/her place in officiating. Get enough college experience and stay there or stay in HS and get really good at that.

Then again you have some plays in the men's game that isn't called in the first 30 min of the game then it is called in the last 3. I am saying taking aproactive approach to calling contact can lower the potential for fouling situations. The men's game is WAY too physical and needs to be reeled in a little.
