How about NFHS mechanics?

Who cares, mechanics are guides for the most part anyway. I do not know of anyone that says a specific thing or does not say a specific thing in this or any number of situations.

1) I believe that you have stated on a few occasions that you, and your local colleagues, have your own local set of mechanics guidelines (are they, at least, written down?), and that you do not follow any national guidelines such as NFHS, or IAABO. And that's fine, "When in Rome".

2) Many of us do follow national, written, guidelines. I followed NFHS mechanics for the first half of my career, and now I follow IAABO mechanics. I care because 20% of my peer rating is based on following our written IAABO mechanics. I follow them because my peer rating directly effects my board ranking, and I like to get assigned lots of high level, varsity, games. So. Who cares? I care. And all 325 of my local colleagues care. And my assignment commissioner cares.
