This makes it sound like the foul or violation would always take precedence. What if you have a held ball and it happened first?

Seriously, whistles/mechanics are about communication, nothing more. Whistles involve our sense of hearing while mechanics involve our sense of sight. What is purpose of doing both simultaneously? (blarges and other contradictory signals can't be avoided using either method)

Visual Learners And Auditory Learners ...
As a service to the hearing impaired and the visually impaired?

Today's quote worth requoting: You don't have to be looking at something to see it.

If someone was visually impaired, why would they be watching? And if they are watching, they are listening to the announcers to understand what happened. People infrequently look at the actual hand (fist/open) in the air. Just stop and think what harm would occur if we did not put an arm in the air during a whistle. Maybe I am missing something glaringly obvious but I can't think of any and it would be one last thing we have to do while officiating. Happens all the time in the NBA and there does not seem to be any problem, especially with communication. And the blarge double whistle was mentioned. Good point..kinda. During a blarge, aren't you looking to your partner anyway? Just like a blarge with arms in the air where you immediately communicate to one another who is taking the call, do the same. Only difference is you do not have your arms in the air. I can live with it, just don't think it is entirely necessary. That is a foul situation with fist in the air. Let's eliminate the hand in the air for everything else. It will help my distal clavicle osteolysis. (by "impaired" I mean not having the sense)

I know the idea won't happen, but to me it is simply unnecessary.

It's All About Me ...
... "I'm stopping the clock with a signal that will hint at what I'm about to call, and then I'll give a signal that will tell everybody exactly what happened".
We have a few college officials working high school games who simply point the direction without an open hand stop the clock signal on out of bounds violations. It's only a minor point, not really a big deal, but they are still encouraged to stop doing it, to set good examples for the younger up and coming officials who must eventually learn correct IAABO high school mechanics. Note: The "hearing impaired and the visually impaired" post was supposed to be facetious.

It Also Depends On The Noise Level In The Gymnasium ...
Every time? No way. It depends on where in the primary coverage area the play occurs. Black and white? Probably no need to look. Gray area? It might be worth taking a peek.

(And, no I don't do it immediately if there's a chance for some extra-curricular activities between those players involved in the play.) |

Yes, "stopping the clock" with either a fist or open palm is something JD is very anal about.
In the 2016-17 CCA manual JD mentions it specifically in the Q&A section near the front, and again on Page 77: "When an official calls a violation: Simultaneously give a sharp blast of the whistle, stop the clock using straight arm and open hand, then drop the whistle from the mouth." Interestingly JD isn't a huge fan of two-handed reporting yet it became mandatory last year. |
