I would like to see 2 hands but that also means that we need to be able to report on the move instead of going to the reporting box. I feel that the once the game has been interrupted the ball needs to get back into play faster... 2 habd speeds things up a hair, so does reporting while moving, but NF needs to look at other things as well.
The NBA has great scorekeepers who do it well, that is not the case in high school and so we get saddled with stuff because we attempt to communicate with a less trained bunc...The reason that many of the things we do as officials is because someone thinks that scorekeepers at the high school level are not the sharpest bunch. or that officials are not the sharpest tacks ether(sometimes they are right) What we have is still a lot of tradition thst maintains interruptions....
1) eliminating the switch when the foul is called in the backcourt...(eliminate the long switch)
2) stop putting the ball in on the baeline and adopt the NBA go to the sideline.. ( works well woth # 1)
3) take out all the preliminary signal junk unless the call needs to be sold
There are other things that are just plain annoying...
4) stop making us raise our open hand on evey violation, we know it does not stop the clock.
5) why do we have an open hand raised when the ball is coming in?
