Always listen to your supervisors. If they want you to do the signal, you better use the signal. If you want to work for others and you are unsure what they think, use the signal. Unless you are told to not use the signal, I would use the signal. Supervisors are looking for any reason to say "why not" when it comes to not promoting officials. Why give them another reason to not give you a shot? A D1 official told me that the officials at that level do not do the same things they did as they were moving up the ranks. He also said that they are not going to fire he best officials in the country either because they do not use "perfect" mechanics. The choice should be an easy one if you are not working the D1 level on a regular basis.
