Let's start with this is not a foul tip. As much as we harass others about the use of proper terminology, we should do so.
The problem with the signal is, as Steve noted, contradicting calls. And the teams do catch on and will jump on any hesitation or opposing signals.
OTOH, when are coaches, at any level, going to learn that just because something didn't happen they way they think it should, that a good call should be reversed?
