The lack of a disconcertion signal in the IAABO manual confused a rookie, I noted that "oversight" in the IAABO manual, and it can be easily fixed.

My local interpreter will discuss this in a few weeks at the IAABO Fall Seminar. If IAABO International feels the same way as JRutledge does, and doesn't see the need for a change, then my interpreter may bring it up to our state interpreter, who may "approve" it for use in Connecticut, like the “Shooter Has Foot Touching Three Point Line” signal that we already use in Connecticut, even though it's not approved by IAABO.

Was the NCAA signal ever labeled, “Delayed Lane Violation”, and then changed, or has it always been labeled, “Delayed Dead Ball: Withheld Whistle”?

You tell the rookie that the signal is the same for all of those types of situations and move on. Rookies ask a lot of question about things that are irrelevant in the bigger picture. They do not know any better and this should not surprise you. And if a rookie cannot figure out that not every level has the same signals or wording for the signal, then they really need to get over it soon. There are bigger fish to fry and who cares what the signal is actually called if the same result takes place?
