You're Driving Me Crazy

On a FT violation where the ball doesn't make contact the rim I usually point to the rim. I may swirl the finger, I don't know, but who cares. If my partner brings THIS up to me I would literally laugh in his/her face. Some mechanics may not be by the book but are used to convey information to the coaches and players.

The more egregious offenses are OVER THE BACK calls and signals. That's 100% wrong by rule and everything.

according to this chart there is no signal for basket interference or goaltendind...so how can he be wrong?

This is the signal



It may not be in the HS approved signal chart but we have BI in the rule book so let's just adopt what the signal is so we have one. I don't know why they haven't added it but I remember seeing it, and now I have to go get my book from the car, in this years iaabo rule book we get. I may be wrong, probably am.

I was wishing him luck in finding it.

I see the "toilet bowl swirl" signal's been posted, too. That's one of my favs, right up with the one-handed creeping death I saw used in my daughter's 5th grade game last week.

The swirl was the technique that George was trying to use from Jerry in the Seinfeld Episode wasn't it?
