My assignor doesn't like it, and says so, but I use it anyway, when he's not looking. It makes a difference in how I'm perceived as being in control, and on the ball.

Our Head Clinician told us to use this signal. He said that when there is a close 3 point shot, the table is convinced you missed it if you do nothing. If you point down or signal "2 points" to them, then they know what you at the very least think you saw. Now if the shot is clearly inside the line, I will do nothing. We were just told to use this when there is a question to whether a shot was a 3 or not.
