The bad part is when an umpire makes a call and the participants see the signal indicating something different.

I have found that coaches are quick to pick-up on "hidden signals", especially if they see the same crews several times or if the signals are mandated by the association.

Too many signals confuse me , I'm an old guy. You want to know what I saw come and talk to me.
