When the lead inbounds the ball, and the ball is staying in the frontcourt, the T should mirror the L's chop. Don't lose sight of your primary as T though. Even if your chop is a split second late, at least the clock operator can see a chop

New for 2-man?

I used to do a lot of two-man. So, when the directive came out a few yrs back, I started doing it this way during two-man anyway for good practice and to ensure I wouldn't forget for three-man.

Just curious - with both sets of eyes watching the ball on the throw-in, who watches off-ball?
Is it really THAT much of a problem where the timer cannot see the L chop in time?

I believe most timers watch the ball and start the clock when they see it inbounds, and don't watch the chop from the administering official, no matter where the ball is inbounded. I've also seen many delays between the chops of the L and T, so I know they aren't always seeing the same thing. In 3-person, the C can still handle a lot of the off-ball activity, but the T has more responsibility in 2-person. It just seems like an unnecessary mechanic that may promote more bad habits than problems it corrects. JMHO.

You can still watch off ball and chop in at trail...you don't have to be staring at the ball. Been doing this in 2-man for awhile, and it's been no issue.

As APG said, it's quite possible and is not new for those of us in Texas.

It also depends on where the table is located on how easy it is to see everything needed to be seen.

Yes, in many of the gyms I worked the timer had a difficult time seeing the chop by the L.

This is the new NFHS mechanic. IAABO has not adopted it, precisely for this reason.
