Regarding player control foul signals, here in my little corner, any signal, or series of signals, seems to be acceptable. We've got 325 officials in my local board, and I bet that we have over 100 "acceptable" player control foul signals.

Actually it has nothing to do with "When in Rome..." as it relates to me. We have way more than 325 officials in the area. As a matter of fact I belong to 3 basketball association and one of them has almost 400 officials. No one is going to care that much about where you put your hands on something like this unless they have nothing else to comment about. But when you can referee plays, that is a minor issue. And when I see someone give a PC fouls signal "properly" it will be a first time I have seen it in years.
