By strict NFHS mechanics, one is to use one-handed reporting but there are some areas that don't care either way.

Reporting is done so the table reads the numbers the same way they read printed text, left to right. So officials use right hand for tens value and left hand for ones value.

I didn't know there was going to be any math on the Forum today. May I be excused?

It would take awhile to get used to it. As long as they don't let NBA numbers become legal. Of course, the Fed has about 3 years to fiddle with the compression sleeve rule before declaring them legal and having them conform to headband colors. So, it might be a waiting game.

I sometimes do two-hand reporting in men's leagues and when I do, I put my right hand up first as the most significant digit, and after a small pause, my left hand as the least significant digit.

One hand per NHFS and one can use two hand per NCAA Women's. But the two-hand mechanic is stupid and confusing.

IMO, the two hand mechanic should only be used for 00, 11, 22, 33, 44, and 55. I think it would avoid any confusion with the scorer's table.
"Wait, was that 1, or 11? I couldn't hear what he said." Just hold up two hands, with the same digit on either hand. EDIT: I personally don't use the two hand reporting mechanic, and from what I understand, it's frowned upon in my area. If the mechanic did become acceptable, though, that's how I would employ it. |

Disagree. How is it stupid to display both digits of a two-digit number at the same time? In the 2 years that I've been using 2-hand reporting exclusively for my college games, there has been zero confusion.
Neither stupid nor confusing. It takes a week to get used to, tops. |
