I think it's good to instill discipline in newer officials. But as officials start to grow, such minutiae becomes less important--one man's opinion.

One signal detail that does bother me is when an official holds up his open-hand to bring in subs, but doesn't direct his/her palm towards the administering official. Just makes it look like they're walking around court with a hand up in the air with no purpose.
Every time I see a person put the open hand to the table, I have to laugh. Are you telling the sub to come in -- or stay there?
