Do you really think that will stop because of a new hand signal? You're not going to stand there with your arms out the whole time a dribbler is not being defended, are you? Coaches will still yell if they think you should be counting. And officials will still have their own interpretation of how close a defender needs to be in order to start a count. This new signal isn't going to change much of the complaining.
