Funny you should mention this:
I was in Tampa Bay on Friday watching the games. (The best two of the day!) While informing my hosts of proper officiating technique I observed the following:
1. One official, after a reach/hold on a dribbler raises his right arm, palm down about chest high in front of him. He then brings his left arm palm up and slaps his righ hand. It looked like he was describing someone getting slapped in the A%&#.
2. Saw, what I like to describe as the Monster Mash/Kilroy Was Here mechanic. On a rebound foul, the official reports the "On the back" by imitating the famous "Kilroy" cartoon, then proceeds to act like he is doing a chin up.
there were others but I eventually told my hosts, that one day I will be good enough to make up my own mechanics too!!
