Exactly. It doesn't solve anything. In fact, it creates more confusion IMO. Before, you at least knew what your partner had with thumbs up. Now, you have no idea if it is a violation, held ball, or timeout but you still have different signals if one has a foul.
And that is why I proposed that Oregon not adopt that change and the state basketball committee agreed.
