johnny1784,
Major League Baseball has another opinion.
Official Baseball Rules:
"PLAY" is the umpire's order to start the game or resume action following any dead ball."

Yes, I do know and agree with you that the above applies for baseball but to me why not use during basketball games for communication purposes only? For high school basketball, resume play begins with a whistle, hand (bounce only on sideline) ball to thrower and signal to start clock appropriately when touched in bounds.
