The CCA Mechanics Committee met during the Final Four in Minneapolis. This is a rules change year; thus the number of mechanics changes will be minimal. However, our focus should be on perfecting our current mechanics. Any changes to our Mechanics Manual will be explained during the fall regional clinics. As we prepare for summer camps and the 2019-20 basketball season, the Mechanics Committee would like to offer the following mechanics teaching points from the Mechanics Committee. -
