At a shorter height, we can't get away with that, we need to stand straight deliver a crisp shoulder level signal and that will give the impression of "height".

I've actually been told that I need to make my foul signals (and reporting signals) lower than that...my number reporting was such that my hand was between my face and the table. Observer felt that it looks cleaner if i keep my signals below my shoulders.
Of course, I'm 6'4", so keep that in mind.
