IAABO Zoom presentation last night by an NCAA-W Final Four official.
He played a video of a very rare call in a women's, or girl's, game.
Goaltending.
A Paige Bueckers (UCONN) layup attempt was goaltended by a South Carolina player after the ball had bounced off the backboard (automatic goaltending in college, not automatic goaltending in high school, which depends on ball going up, or down, when touched).
Surprised by never seeing it before in his thirty year NCAA-W career, his first reaction was, "That's odd. I think that that is probably illegal," and sounded his whistle.
In last night's Zoom presentation he admitted and joked that he didn't know the signal for goaltending, or basket interference, both extremely rare in a women's, or girl's, game.
He jokingly suggested a "swirly" over the head signal.
As far as I know, in my NFHS (with IAABO signals) high school games, the correct signal for defensive basket interference, and defensive goaltending, is the "count the basket" signal; and the correct signal for offensive basket interference, and offensive goaltending, is the "do not count the basket (wipe off)" signal.
Other than stop the clock (open hand), count basket or cancel basket, direction, and spot (designated, or run the endline), are there any additional "official" signals in the goaltending, or basket interference, sequence in NFHS, NCAA-M, NCAA-W, NBA, WNBA, or FIBA?
The "swirly" over the head is not an "official" goaltending, or basket interference, signal?
Right?
Isn't that only the "official" signal for resetting the shot clock?
