Coaches do not respond well to this. Non-verbal is something like 73% of communication and this is a very ineffective non-verbal tool.
I have to tell you that I do not disagree with your analysis but there are a lot of supervisors and assignors who still want to see it used.

speaking of non-verbal

Monday night at my scrimmage one of the long time officials is taking some legitimate flack from a coach on a call and I noticed him standing there with his arms laced across the fron of his body -with one sholder sort of down and leaning away from the coach.

Talk about negative non-verbal communication!
