Signal is only confusing to announcers because they are looking through video screens/at floor level and can't see way over there. Calipari doesn't seem to misunderstand.

It was the right call, but I thought the signal was confusing too. It is too close to what many use for counting the bucket. I expected a charge call, then it looked like he counted the bucket.
|
From the cheap seats of the camera, it sure looked like "bucket's good." But he must have said something too because every player looking at him immediately knew what the call was.

I'm seeing absolutely nothing confusing about his signal. In fact, he did it properly I stopping the clock with a fist, and then he punchef other direction with a fist.
I've seen that signal a thousand times. Maybe people are confused cuz too many officials are incorrectly counting a basket by coming down with a closed fist. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |

And as for the fist, where does it say exactly how the hand should be? |

A few years ago I made a call that got confused as a charge when I was actually counting the basket.
Since then, it's two fingers down and a lot less emphasis. No point to banging it home like a madman. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
Ive seen a ref in our area perform this sequence of motions and he looked like a clown to everyone at the game, many players from both teams rolled their eyes in utter disgust and I was embarrased by it: 1. normal fist up and whistle movements upon contact on shooter but, then 2. a punch and another whistle when the try was successful, then 3. while hopping on one foot another whislting yet a third time. I asked why he did that, it's not needed, hes said I' have been officiating for 25 years its how its done, you gotta sell it''.

The dainty hands on the hips for a block would elicit the same reaction with me as someone using this "score the goal" signal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
