The problem with this approach is that when you're just starting out, your partner is very likely also fairly inexperienced. If you have two guys out there who don't know how to administer a double technical foul, chances are high that you'll get it wrong.

Mechanics and positioning are important, no question. Practice your signals at home in the mirror, and study up on where you should be positioned in various situations. But, IMHO, you have to know the rules, first and foremost.
