Sometimes the NCAA has it right.
NCAA-W has a signal for hit to the head. It's a useful signal and everyone knows exactly what you're reporting.
I called a foul last night I normally would've passed on only because the defender swung and hit the ball handler in the head after she received a pass at the elbow. She then put up a jump shot, but I had already blown it down (it was a fairly significant hit to the head although she played through it nicely). She missed the shot. It was clearly a foul before the shot.
Now, which communicates the foul best to the players/coaches/table/spectators? The NCAA-W hit to the head or the NFHS hack?
