1. 2004 - 2005 National Federation Three Person Mechanics Illustrated

2. PREFACE
The current ( ) NFHS Officials Manual is not being edited this year. However, the Basketball Rules Committee made the following change for this season ( ):
“The foul calling official in a three-person crew will go tableside after calling the foul to enhance communication with coaches and the scorer’s table.”
Due to this mechanic change, we have prepared this presentation to supplement your current Officials Manual.

3. WHEN WORKING the 2004-05 MECHANIC CHANGE
The foul calling official will go to tableside after calling the foul.
The foul calling official always has the option to go opposite the table if an adversarial situation with the coach has or could occur.
When the foul is called in frontcourt and the play is going to the opposite end, the officials will “push” up the court.
