In a previous post with the same question, Mike had the following response. I think he is reffering to the Redding Study Guide, but I couldn't find it in my glancing thru it.
According the the Referee Study Guide, for the illegal forward pass signal, we DON'T turn our back. For the sideline warning, we DO turn our back.
I thought someone else refferenced once that we are to ALWAYS face the pressbox when signaling. I would face the pressbox. They have a signal chart and can figure out what you are calling based on the pictures they have the what they see you doing.
