Some examples could be a slight hit to the head on a drive to the basket or an elbow tap on a shooter. Have also used a preliminary on an illegal screen play where everyone sees the illegal screen but there was a push from the offensive player on the screener that not everyone may have seen.

Welcome to the forums!
These are some good examples. In my experience, it's the different definitions everyone has of preliminary signals that causes argument. Someone may say they're horrible while another says they are pivotal; All the while they both are meaning something different but will ***** about it during pregame.
