This is why I always correct newer officials who use the tipped ball signal on a blocked shot. I know when I first started I did that a few times, and it bit me in the butt a few times. You feel like a pretty big idiot while you're up there showing a tipped ball signal and your partner is calling a foul. Only takes a couple of those (or really, just one) to teach you to not use that signal inappropriately!
