I don't see that in the NCAAM Rules book. maybe I missed it. Maybe it's been added since the book was printed.

That's how i've been taught the BI signal is at college camps and by D1 officials.

IAABO (and maybe NFHS):

Defensive basket interference, or defensive goaltending: Sound the whistle, use the count the basket signal, state "Two points", state "Blue ball", point in the direction of that team's basket, point to the throwin (run the endline) spot.

Offensive basket interference, or offensive goaltending: Sound the whistle, use the no score signal, state "No basket", state "White ball", point in the direction of that team's basket, point to the throwin spot.

IAABO: Basket interference and goaltending violations are reported by going to the reporting area.

It's an offensive free throw violation. And like any other offensive free throw violation, sound the whistle, state "Violation Blue", state "White ball", point in the direction of that team's basket, point to the throwin spot.

If it misses everything on the first of two shots, we usually don't embarrass the shooter with a whistle.

Never seen that one before.

The correct signal is hand up for violation followed by either counting the bucket or canceling the bucket. All communicated, nothing more needed.

It isn't difficult at all. What if the thrower attempts a bounce pass near the defenders leg. It can easily hit it and not be a kick. That can be true even if the defender was moving if the defender's movement was consistent and not a reaction to the ball.

It's not in the book and I've never seen it used or discussed in any situation or camp. Perhaps a regional thing, but I'm surprised to hear that d1 officials have told deecee to use it. As I said, I've never seen it. And honestly it seems silly to me. Of course, we've seen video of d1 officials giving the traveling signal on a spot throw-in violation, so I would still caution people from using it unless your supervisor has said differently.
