What most people (other than officials) do not understand is what you are looking for for 6'.
the measurement it isn't forehead to forehead of players leaning over like most people think it is toe to toe which makes it look wider than it is.
So I think the mechanic is useful and I use it at all levels - if you do not feel comfortable or your assoc. says don't use then don't.

I dont think it is a useful mechanic. I am not a certified NCAA official, yet there isnt any need to use a signal that means the same by not using any signal at all to indicate there isnt any closely guarded situation.
This NCAA signal can confuse usage of a full second time-out. The difference being that one uses an open hand instead of a cup like hand.
By the way... the NCAA signal chart has both the team control and play control fouls using the same men's/women's mechanic.
