Three Person
Mechanics
Many questions have arisen concerning correct mechanics for the three person crews when
the calling
official does not stay tableside.
In the rules meetings
officials were told there was to be no long switch on a foul in the frontcourt going
to backcourt with
no free-throws. The following
slides are intended
to help clarify the procedure outlined by the NFHS for this situation and
others. When the new basketball manual is printed next year
the appropriate
diagrams will be included, until then use this as a reference.
