I know that's how the Big 10 used to do it eons ago, but I was amazed to hear that there's a WH that would insist upon that in 2004.
Anyone know of any other crews or WHs with quirks such as this?

REPLY: Rich, It reminds me of the old days with a three-man crew when the R had the ball between the uprights and the wing man had the crossbar. Wing would signal thumbs-up or thumbs-down to let the R know whether the ball passed above/below the crossbar. Haven't seen anyone anywhere use this with 5-man mechanics. Crazy!!!
