The open hand signal is.used for a timeout, violation, or held ball. All it means, by itself, is that play is stopped. In NFHS and NCAA men's mechanics, a stop-clock signal, with the open hand, is required before.calling a held ball, any violation, or a timeout, whether charged or officials'. Thus, the open hand is the generic stop signal for the game clock. In NCAA women's mechanics, the stop clock signal is not used for an out-of-bounds violation, 5-second violation, 10-second violation, or a held ball.
In an NFHS (or NCAAM) game, an official can blow a whistle, raise an open.hand, and look to a partner.for help.if unsure.on an out-of-bounds play (or.use.the time granted by him stopping the clock to decide himself).
Does volleyball have a similar signal to communicate that play is stopped, but that a point is not awarded (yet)?
