BIRDDOG: (archaic) The action of a basketball official whereby s/he, with one closed fist thrust skyward as far as it will go without detaching from her/his body, positions the other hand perpendicular to the vertical line of her/his body to the extend that it will reach with downward facing open hand or single finger or index and middle fingers pointing at or about the person who committed a foul. More difficult to execute in cases of a double foul, unless said official was born with three arms.
