Until the CCA manual started being published by Referee Enterprises, the signal to point in the direction of the team calling the timeout three times was always part of the verbal description in the timeout procedure.
We still use S3 to stop the clock, and the three chucks to indicate which team. I suppose there really should be a S3a, but I guess they consider this a supplementary signal.
Now the CCA manuals actually show this signal in a picture, (PlayPic).
That's the way I recall it being done at the dii-iii level for years and the way we have been doing so at the NFHS level.
A signal I remember being deleted was the three steam whistle tugs when a team used it's last TO. Not sure when that occurred, but we don't use it any more.
