Yes, I agree, one should always aim to practice proper hand signals, court rotations, and other such official distinctions. Even when I do 4th 5th grade club basketball ther is always someone in the stands with an IPad recording the games. Plus, you will tend to "degrade" your official signaling skills if you only use them during "higher level" reffing episodes.
I must admit tho, I do not like it when my partner does not rotate positions on calls--especially on shooting fouls---because it keeps me on the side in the coaches "reach". Really, sometimes I need a break of distance from those coaches constant bantering and such.
Am I alone or anyone else here agree?
