Scrapper, Don't worry
If you get comfortable with the wheel use it. Your assigner is not going to mark you down and stick you only with MS games if you use it. the idea is to get the call right, not always how you get there.
AS to using the BRA sign, our officials are right, you do not always have to use the legal BRA sign, but you have leeway on when to use it:
Case book/Manual p. 70:
"7. LEGAL BACK-ROW ATTACK — Arm on attacker’s side of
net is extended parallel to the floor at chest level, palm
down. Then make one slight horizontal sweeping motion
when, in the judgment of the official, it is needed to
indicate a legal back row attacker."
If you are learning to see BRA's use the sign when in your judgment you need to acknowledge the BRA. For our veteran officials, it won't be as often as you. But until you have it down, IMO call it when you see it no matter what.
"Best practice" says you use when you need to, I agree. And you will use it less and less over time, until you can easily strive for best practice every time.
