If you had this YouTube moment, how would you want your mechanics to be?
Please, do a better job than this official did of communicating what you have. Think it through all the way, and practice it in a big enough space.
I'm a big proponent of newer officials working their mechanics in the mirror, but also of working through the mechanics of certain plays in the mirror. This is a good one, because there are a few different scenarios to practice. Give it a try.

Ref 99...new ref here...great tip. esp. the point you made about
"working through the mechanics of certain plays"..all too often I find myself just practiving one sigle mechanic...not the entire sequence of hand signals you would use in making a call for a foul or a violation.
