Now I could use an evil eye roll.
I do have one particular situation where I put up the stop sign. It's when my partner makes a call from the Lead or from the C opposite the table and the coach gets up clearly in reaction to the call. I do it mainly so the coach doesn't distract from my partner reporting the foul. Of course, I'm not using the classic 'Crossing Guard" stop sign stance , more of pushing my hand(s) towards the ground as in "slow down, Coach"
