Hold a sideways "2" with your right hand.

Might have to explain why you're doing that to the table if they ask, but they'll figure it out quickly enough.

I think it's because of the mnenomic of balL-Left and Right-stRike, and that the words sound similar!

What's odd, however, is the fact that most (not all, but most) indicators show strikes on top, then balls in the middle, and outs on the bottom. You would think they would shows balls, then strikes, in the same order you verbalize counts.

I think we try to make things (mechanics, etc.) harder than they need to be.

Doesn't say anything about stopping in the reporting area. If this is what gets printed in the manual, would that imply that walk-and-talk will be acceptable?

Single digit number, i.e., four, right hand?

Is this from the NFHS? Is there somewhere it can be found online, and copied and pasted? I would like to share it with my local interpreter.

I don't think it matters. Just don't signal 0-4 with two hands.

Can't find it anywhere on their site, hence "bootlegged." Looks legit. Of course, it could have been sent out by Julian Assange.

Doesn't say anything special about how to report 1 and 1 either, says report free throws in one hand. Means we can now use the "hook 'em horns" like the NBA! No more of the dumb old signal. Boom.

Looks like a few things are not clear. Do we stop and report anymore?

Peace

But then that wouldn't be "two hand reporting".

Nice catch. Can we trust the authenticity of this link?

It's gotta be the Russians.

Perhaps the "move to the designated reporting area" instruction carries an implicit "and stop."
