Shame on me but this is what I do instinctively. I also bypass stopping the clock on out of bounds plays. This is a habit that has gone unnoticed in my college games. However I got marked down for it in a high school game. Changing my mechanics is harder than changing what rules I'm using for me. I know it is wrong but this is what I find myself doing.
I know I'm replying to a post over three years old, but I find myself doing the same thing - just a sharp point in the other direction. I don't think I bring my hand behind my head anymore until I'm reporting the foul.
