Foul Tip Signal
Last weekend on the three hour drive across the State of Ohio to officiate in the State Special Olympics Basketball Finals, Daryl Long and I were discussing the "not closely guarded signal" in basketball. I said it was a stupid signal because if I am not visually counting it means that there is no closely guarded situation. My position on the basketball signal lead to a discussion as to why do we need to signal a foul tip.
We came to the conclusion that a foul tip signal is not necessary becasuse when a foul tip occurs, the ball remains live, so why do we need to signal a foul tip, just signal a strike and an out if it is strike three? Any comments. MTD, Sr.
