The shot clock is not a secret, so if they notice us saying something that is not my issue. We are instructed to tell them other things in relation to the shot clock like when the backcourt time runs out. So why would we care if we point up to the clock? It is not something you use every time, you use maybe when you have seconds and maybe the clock has not reset for the most part. I think I have used it like 5 times in 4 games. So just like anything you can overuse the signal or not use the signal hardly at all.

Peace

I thought it was to be used every time. I did it 4 or 5 times just last night.

If I'm able to take the time to do the mechanic, that usually means my partners have competitive matchups and aren't paying attention to me.
