Alleviate Conflicting Calls ...

Ms. Wynns really doesn't sound very passionate about the change.

The final change approved by the Basketball Rules Committee is a change in the signal when a held ball occurs. Now, when a held ball occurs, the covering official(s) shall stop the clock using Signal #2 (straight arm, open palm extended) while simultaneously sounding the whistle. “This change should help to alleviate conflicting calls by officials when a held ball occurs,” Wynns said. “We currently raise one arm to stop the clock for everything except the jump/held ball.”

Was an easy transition for me, and I like the change for consistency's sake.

One of the two reasons stated by Ms. Wynns.

I think it was a dumb and unnecessarily change and I have not done it very well at all and honestly do not care (Didn't do it on the Referee Magazine cover either).

Peace

I have always done it the current way. I did it incorrectly for many years and now the rules have finally caught up with me.

I wonder, but not for a long time, how two officials had the same signal. I also wonder how Jrut apparently got a third arm/thumb

He is not showing the entire cover. There are two kids on the floor in this picture and that is the arm of one of them on the floor.
