Improves Communication ...

We are always told that using "proper" signals improves communication. If coaches actually paid close attention to our signals over time, a lack of signal consistency among officials would be a cause for concern.

Note: Not a "dig" at coaches. They've got a lot to do besides comparing signals from game to game, and official to official. I've had upset, irritated coaches calm down after I report a foul to the table once they see that it was a push, not an illegal use of hands (for example), as they had expected (not seeing my preliminary signal). Some coaches do pay close attention to signals.
