You must be wrong. I saw that lurking-bear signal just this week in a JV game. (And it confirmed some of what I was thinking about the level of officials we had drawn that day . . . )

That's an NCAA-M mechanic for walking under / undercutting the shooter with the body while keeping the hands up.

The finger twirl is the ncaa mechanic for resetting the shot clock.

The NCAA mechanic is actually dislodging with the lower body NOT undercutting the shooter (it could be used for rebounding as well or even possible post play).

You have 2 finger twirl signals (3 actually if you count abbreviated TO for subs) like I said one pointing up and one pointing down over the other hand making an O.

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.

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.
