To be honest, I don't care if others do this or not -- but I like to know what's in the books before I decide whether to follow along. 
(Some of the old practices from my early years seem downright bizarre compared to this one. Like the trail signaling with two fingers after every made basket...the trail administering every free throw...the lack of action rule...working Cadillac and live-ball crossing over the court to "get back in Cadillac"....the fouler being required to raise his/her hand (that one predates me).) |
I recall cadillac. I recall playing when we had to raise our hands (although that may have just been a hold-over). I do remember trail administering the first free throw. I do remember signaling all made baskets.
