I reffed with a guy in a tournament last week. Everytime there was a held ball, he stopped the clock with arm straight up, then did this overzealous thumbs up signal. It looked really stupid (especially the stop clock part). Unfortunately, it was a girls Jr High game so he had many opportunities to look stupid (IMO).
The only mechanic that bugs me is standing on the far blocks during time outs. I am finding this kind of awkward
(guess it hasn't become second nature yet). Besides, most of the guys I work with either don't seem know about this or are ignoring it.
Glad they got rid of the "bird dog."
