Where Belts Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Have Belts ...

I know that I'm a dinosaur. I spotted a rookie official with belted pants last week and suggested to him that beltless pants had a more professional look. https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.2...=0&w=300&h=300 Since the fall, I've dropped over twenty pounds, and two belt holes. It's cheaper to drop a belt hole, or two, or three, than to buy new beltless pants every time I drop several pounds. Note to IAABO members. Do you all realize that IAABO International outlawed belted pants a few years ago. The only reason that we're allowed to wear belted pants here in my little corner of Connecticut is that we passed a local board constitutional amendment allowing black belts for those that prefer to wear them. The constitutional amendment passed unanimously. We're outlaws I tell you, outlaws. https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.D...=0&w=369&h=174 |

Two person game. The three point attempt signal (three fingers) is only used in one's primary coverage area. Period. If the successful three point goal comes from the trail's primary, only the trail gives the successful three point goal (touchdown) signal. Period. If the successful three point goal comes from the lead's primary, both the lead, and the trail, give the successful three point goal signal. It seems difficult for rookies, and other inexperienced officials, to understand this signal progression. Here in Connecticut we have an additional "Connecticut only" signal. In our primary coverage area, we point to floor for a two point field goal attempt when the shooter has a foot touching the three point line. We also used to have a not closely guarded "Connecticut only" signal (arms spread wide apart), but IAABO International made us give it up, saying the correct signal was just not counting. |

In the book on pg. 200 the not closely guarded signal is shown (IAABO). |

I do not have a "style." I do what the play requires. Walking the ball up requires a different reaction and movement than if they are running immediately off of the throw-in.
I try to stay close. Peace |

I never use the “not closely guarded” signal. If I’m not counting, then obviously they are not closely guarded in my judgment. Difference from the other signal is that the table is not involved. |

Not Closely Guarded Signal ...

However, the new four IAABO co-interpreters decided IAABO would use this signal and put it in this year's handbook. However, it was not discussed at the IAABO national interpreters meeting, so most state, and local, interpreters didn't include it in their new rules review meetings. We will be using this "not closely guarded" signal in Connecticut next year. |
