As a newbie this last season, I have had one major peeve. The book says over and over, to never use a signal that isn't authorized, namely in the book. But then it gives no official signal for something that happens six times in every game -- namely the full time-out.What a mixed message!!
Several other signals would be helpful such as the flagrant mentioned above ( I personally like the "you're out of there" thumb thing -- it's clear and expressive), a referee's time out, an actual official signal for calling subs onto the floor, and maybe a couple of the violations such as lane violation, and the various out of bound related violations.
