What if we have an official that is not paying attention (I know this would NEVER happen...but, humor me). Wouldn't the communication be the same, the official not having a count, even though there could indeed be a closely guarded situation?
This new signal just shows the coaches/fans/evaluators/etc. that the official is on top of the play...and he/she does indeed have a count or does not have a count because of the six feet guarding requirement.
I didn't use this signal before(well, almost never)
...but, if in our judgement we can communicate better with this signal...why not?
