3-whistle: Throw-in below FT line extended

[mbyron]

From the NFHS manual, p. 51, 3.2.2 Throw-ins:

2. In the frontcourt, the official responsible for the line is the administering official.

Below the FT-line extended, we have the lead bounce to the thrower and have the count, with the trail chopping time in.

For both two and three whistle? I was under the impression the L administering in this case was a two whistle only mechanic.

The other reason I don't like trail mirroring the chop is this: the other day I was about to administer a throw in on the end line and just as I was about to hand the ball to the player I see my partner raise his hand out of the corner of my eye. I stopped the administration and asked him what was up? Then it clicked. Oops. He was doing too good of a job.

That's why I make quick eye contact before every throw in.

Well I did but then he put his hand up after that and so I looked at him again to see why he wanted to stop (subs, garbage on the floor or something else.) I guess a good rule of thumb is to not start the mirror until the ball is at the disposal of the player.

Yeah, I can see how that would be a bit disconcerting. It'll probably be less so once we get used to it, and as if there's a reason to actually stop the process, he should be hitting his whistle, too.

Or go ahead and put the hand up as soon as he gives you the go-ahead nod.

There is a difference. Hand up for partner to wait should be shoulder to head height. Hand up to chop should be straight up.

Thanks. We were pre-gaming this earlier this week and it came up. I was trying to find it in the FED manual during our pre-game, but I was in a hurry and couldn't come up with anything.

So the way our state wants us doing it now is correct if you follow that manual. Interesting. Prior to this clarification, we would decide as a crew how to do it depending on who you were working with. Some guys that work NCAA games did it that way, while others had the Lead bounce it across the corner and count/chop himself. I like the NCAA-M method personally, but I'm not making that decision.
