The Bird-Dog is for clarification purposes, nothing else. That is why it is optional at the NF level and NCAA Men's levels. You use it if there is possibly more than one person around and it might be unclear who fouled. I bird-dog on a regular basis, only when it is likely two or more people could have committed the foul. Plays on the perimeter like a foul on the guard then I might not do anything but the preliminary signal.

Peace
