Unclear communication, both oral communication and body language (facial expression). In my post I was pointing out that some masked officials had, while reporting fouls, resorted to pointing to benches to supplement (and clarify) their oral communication of the color of the offending team, a trick most of us learned over many years officiating at The American School For The Deaf (with a deaf scorekeeper), but frowned upon as an irritant in "hearing" games.
