One of our guys went to an officials camp in Saginaw where they were being taught to use the *foul tip* in the event a defender last touches the ball in the front court and may be legally recovered by the offense in the back court.
Is this a national epidemic encouraged by many camps?
The thought, I am told, is to show the coaches that the tip was seen, and to keep the coaches quiet.
What, then, does it mean when the official does not show the foul tip?[*]Does it mean the defense *absolutely* did not touch the ball?[*]Does it mean the official did not see the *tip*?
Bad idea!!!

At any camp there are going to be individual clinicians teaching things that are homemade or downright incorrect, you know that. I would guess this to be the situation as I have not been told at any camp to use this mechanic. Though, I have never been told not to either.
