Now, like Rich, I often have to take a peak at the bench as I'm ready to point. Sometimes, if it's a close play and waiting will look bad, I'll say the color as I look to the bench.

It's just a tool I used to get quicker at the directional signal.
I try to delay a bit on every call. If I do feel the need to grab a peek, it looks no different than any other call. Whistle, short delay, point.
