I don't need to feel 100% about every call, but I'd like to get the mechanics correct. Why is there no signal? How do I let everyone know what just happened, what the penalty is, and what happens next? What does happen next? Any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks!!

If you're counting it (defensive) then give a strong
basket counts signal, followed by the 3 point signal
if needed. If you're not counting it (offensive) then give
a strong no basket signal. If there's a shot clock give
the shot clock reset signal. Finally, and this is important, know the difference between BI & GT. If you get
into a discussion with the coach you certainly don't want to
tell him BI when you actually have GT. That's about it.
Other advice: watch the pregame
warmups, you'll quickly see who's going above the rim & who
ain't. Also at the JV level many dunks are blown. Be
patient, it may look ugly but the kid can blow a dunk
without BI. If you see an alley-oop coming, make sure
the ball is not caught above the cylinder (BI). And
finally (this time I mean it), don't forget GT needs to
be a on a tap or try, BI does not, which means (among other
things) that you can have BI on a throw-in but *not* GT.
Have fun, let us know how it goes.
