Free throw misses rim, violation, mechanics?

[BigCat]

I would raise open hand. Point at rim and yell, "violation,ball did not hit rim. Blue ball, point direction. Then spot throwin there" while pointing to spot. (If it is close to hitting rim.) if complete and total air ball raise open hand,point direction and then spot of the throw in.

I do twirl on basket interference every now and then. Nothing else.

Perhaps we should come running in with multiple tweets, pumping our raised arm 3-4 times to make sure people know we've got the call.

Or perhaps we shouldn't.

And the Lead official does NOT make this call. In two man, it should be whistled by the trail, and in a three man crew, center has this call.

Everyone in the gym knows what it means

Everyone in the gym knows what the signal for delay of game in football is. Should we use that too? Also, that isn't the signal for missing the rim. It is, or used to be, the signal for resetting the shot clock.

If the people missed that the ball didn't hit the rim (or might not have hit it) and have no idea what you're calling, they aren't paying enough attention to matter. Use the correct mechanic -- arm raised with open hand and whistle, point in the direction of the non-offending team's basket, point to a spot for the throw in, and then move to your next position. Verbalize if you want to, but I don't think it is necessary.
