Everybody is missing the point in this discussion. The are no foul tips in basketball; we are not officiating a baseball or softball game. It has been my observation that while the official is giving the foul tip signal something else happens and he is too busy giving the foul tip signal to the signal the real infraction.
One of my basketballmentors, who is now in the OhioHSAA Officials Hall of Fame, always taught that you have nothing until you have something. An official does not have to do anything until an infraction of the rules occurs, then he has something to do.
