Every time I see a video from the 70s/80s with counting done as a waist-high flick of the wrist, I think about how stupid that looks (and yes, I did it)...and yet, there were MTD, Sr. equivalents in the early 1990s who said the shoulder high count was a fad and looks stupid.
Same with the T administering all free throws....or working Cadillac...or anything else that's changed.
Maybe this will become the norm in our games...and maybe it won't.
I'd rather see 2-handed reporting and some of the other foul signals (hit to the head, extended forearm, chuck, trip) become acceptable according to the NFHS manual.
