And that's the key...if you are comfortable with it. I use unapproved signals from time-to-time. I have a supervisor who tells us he likes to see some personality on the floor.

Once you have a established that you get plays right, know the rules, can communicate with coaches, and can handle situations on the court your mechanics get less scrutinized. Just ask Ed Hightower.

1. Clean block up top with simultaneous body contact that is say, 60/40 or 55/45, should that be reported as a "push" or "block" accompanied by the verbal "BODY" to sell the call?
...
Having to sell a call is often a indication that we may have got it wrong. In this case I would have a push mechanic on the spot and at the table. I might explain (not sell) if the coach asked.
