Cameron, can I ask why you do this and how you came to do it? Was it a suggestion at a camp?

Yes...a camp suggestion (for the violations). For fouls, it's just habit. No real need for specific hands on a foul since your focus should remain on the fouler/foulee for the immediate time and you're not typically indicating a direction (until this year's signal for team control foul).

I disagree, it does matter, although it is an advanced thing to do. Use your outside hand to call a foul, this way it "opens" you up to the play, it sounds wierd but definitely a little thing that only officials would notice. I know I'd notice if a guy was doing this and it looks sharp, but again a minor thing.

When I'm raising my arm for a foul, the play is over and I'm squared up to the point of the foul. Neither hand will alter the view of the relevant play.
