Have seen some officials report the foul and point to his hip or stick out a knee. I don't think you would get your point across to the player if you told him he used his hands illegally!!! If a person is going to get attacked when making a post that will not help this forum. We are here to exchange ideas and improve. If someone dissects everything you say a person may say why in the he77 would I want to get put down for anything I have to say? These type of comments will also prevent new people from posting legitimate questions on this board for fear of being put down. No one wants to be made to look like an idiot.

Wow,you are one touchy l'il feller.aren't ya?
There is one heckuva difference between trying to make someone look like an idiot,and someone trying to make a legitimate point.
The point is,as Pennsylvania Coach is aware of because he's read it many times,is that "a reach" is completely the wrong terminology to use to identify a foul."Reaching" is not a foul.Making illegal contact while "reaching" is a foul."Reaching" is not in the rule book,and there is no official signal for it.If you are being evaluated at a lot of camps,state play-downs.etc.,you would certainly be quickly marked down for using a term like that.Evaluators generally want us to stick with the approved terms and signals.Believe me,they can be quite anal like that.
There's some pretty sharp people on this forum,Joe.That includes coaches,too.Did you ever think that you might be able to learn from them,too? JMHO!
