Years ago, I decided that the NFHS Mechanics just didn't cut the mustard so I made up my own:

1. Traveling: It has nothing to do with the hands...so why the speed bag signal? I do the sctick that Jackie Gleason used to open his old Variety Show......"a little Traveling Music, Sammy and AWAY we goooo...."

2. 3 Point Signal: Why use a football signal? OK...I stole this from the WWF. I get down to my knees when the shot is in the air and slap the floor. One...two....hesitaion for dramatic effect....THREE! Sometimes I pull back on the THREE SLAP just to see what the Coach does?

3. Backcourt: I blow the whistle and take pocession of the ball. I walk into the Center Circle and begin a very good "moonwalk" into backcourt.

4. 5 Seconds Closely Guarded: Thank God I only get one or two a game. I lay down on my side at the POI. Then I do the old Curly Howard Rountine where you move your feet and make a full revolving circle. (Coaches HATE this one.)
