What, exactly, is the "college strike call?" I have read many versions of SUIP manual, attended many clinics, and don't believe I have ever heard this referred to. Both say "hammer, 90 degrees or greater." So what, exactly, is the difference that you could notice? I use the same signal in NCAA, NJCAA, NFHS, and ASA....and I have never been dinged for it at any level.

Arm's more forward of the body instead of to the side.

Maybe that is the way that many do it, but that is not the way it is described on p.271 of the SUIP Manual. In both writing and clinics, it is taught the same, and as I have stated, mine is the same in all sactioning bodies.

Of course, that being said, the college level does allow a little more individuality with mechanics/signals, within reason.
