Preliminary Signaling

Peace

I'm with you guys on the verbalizing part. Can be tough in a crowded gym for a coach on the opposite side of the court to hear though in some cases and I have definitely seen some guys get push back from coaches when reporting a hit to the head with the NFHS approved hit mechanic. I really wish the NFHS would expand the usable mechanics to let us more accurately portray what happened on a play.

I just do it anyway.

Oops, did I just type that out loud?

Ok, so I may not get a state tournament assignment this year. But in the other 99% of games I do, many of which are really good 6A-ish games that are more competitive than most state tournament games, I think the coaches appreciate my advanced signaling vocabulary. Communication is key.

The NFHS basketball rules committee continues to inexplicably stymie the very kinds of communication they portend to encourage.
