I wonder if IAABO will add it to their signal chart?

And if they don't, what does that mean? I am asking for a reason BTW.

Double secret probation if one dares to use such an unauthorized signal in a game.

I am under the impression that IAABO does what the NF does when it comes to mechanics and signals.

Similar, but not exactly the same.

IAABO came up with its own mechanics manual and signals back in 2004-05.

Two years ago IAABO came up with its own Rules "Guide" (not Rules "Book") and "Play" Book (not "Case" Book).

However, the IAABO "Handbook" does contain the caveat, "Officials are encouraged to use this book in conjunction with the current editions of the NFHS Rules Book and Case Book".

What is felt is wrong about waiting until the next dead ball? Similar to a delayed technical foul, stopping play immediately might hinder a team. What have officials here seen that was negative in waiting?

That's the NCAAW rule and it works well. Even the T for the second occurrence can be delayed in certain circumstances.

However, it's pointless to speculate on what might happen and specifically how it will be enforced in FED until the actual rule comes out.

I think that is a specific state that does that, not the general NF. And that state is doing that for a dumb reason and clearly has no one that officiates that actually is making this decision.

That is all I will say for now.

But the the rest of the basketball world waits until the next opportunity to stop play. That means relatively immediately for an offensive player that flops. And let the play finish or penalize after the offense has had a chance to score.
