Bird Dog?

It does seem to be making a little bit of a comeback, doesn't it?

I don't think we're going back to the 1980s anytime soon, but apparently the bird-dog has lost a little bit of its taboo status lately.

Sometimes I think they are pointing at who GOT fouled, not who fouled -- so they get the right shooter.

Agreed.

What I'm noticing A LOT more in the tourney is pointing across the body for OOB violations. It's insane (to me, at least) how often it's happening, and with so many different officials.

And it's usually situations when there is plenty of time and plenty of room to raise the proper arm and point. Bizarre to choose instead to raise the other arm and point across your torso. I mean, we all do it occasionally in the heat of the moment, but this almost seems like an approved mechanic!
