I still don't get the sequence correctly every time as it is... trying to do different mechanics for 'kids' then I do for 'high school' would mess up my brain even more.

I too call BS

I can't blow my whistle without a hand going up or a held ball signal. It's such a habit that sometimes a heavy sigh makes me want to put my hand in the air.

It takes a real thinker to go between prescribed mechanics and a method that is more "little kid" friendly. It appears to me he has some bad habits and blamed it on the level he was calling.

I'm for using the appropriate mechanics in your area for all levels.

Same here, but my biggest challenge through week 2 of the HS season has been not using 2 hands to report & stopping the clock for OOB

I wonder if his original mechanics were just that bad and confused people that he had to come up with this approach.
