When I report a foul, I generally walk around the players/lane to the nearer side of the foul reporting area. (in a college game, I only clear the players), the distance into the zone is based upon clearing the players, but it's usually a few feet away from the top of the arc.
I come to a complete stop.
My hand signals (Color, number, foul, direction usually take a full 5 seconds.
I then turn, and jog to my new position.
Can this be improved upon?
The reason I ask is that a couple refs (a non-clinic vet, and a non-clinic 4 year) said I was quite slow.
I just started walking to the table this year, purposefully.

We were told to jog to our reporting spot, Stop while reporting and jog back. I like to freeze for a second after the whistle to collect myself, make sure I have the correct number, also to make sure no extra pushing,trash talking ect. takes place then jog off to report. It works for me, but do what's comfortable for you. Remember, they can't do anything until your done!!
