I used to tip signal when the ball went out of bounds until I realized that if the coach thought his player didn't touch it, my little signal wasn't going to help. Now the only time I use it is if the coach yells "How can that be their ball?" Instead of yelling back, I use the tip signal...that way only one person is making a fool of himself (hopefully).

Did have a partner at the beginning of the season running hard to beat a fast break down court. Just as he reached the baseline the ball went in...he gave an absolutely beautiful signal that the player was safe at home...almost spit my whistle across the court.
