I also went and looked at the CCA Men's Mechanics for example and almost every signal that both the NF or CCA Men's shares is exactly the same. Of course the CCA has more signals, but the signals are almost the same. So I would ask those in any state that insisted that these were "college mechanics" to show where do they have evidence of that. Now maybe Women's basketball shows some different signals in style, but they also look practically the same. The difference in all of the descriptions are the fact the animation is drawn differently. The NF has a cartoon, the CCA uses a Man and a Woman, which my understanding were created by NASO.

Peace

Perhaps the better description is not that they are college mechanics necessarily but they are not approved mechanics at all (but are often seen and accepted in college games).

I do not even think it is about approval. I think not everyone is a robot, just like if you watch a dance competition you will see different styles or techniques used by different dancers. That is why it is perplexing when people assume something like how you count a basket if not done the way it was suggested is a "college mechanic." It seems like it is more about style than something approved or disapproved.
