Team Control Foul Signals

[JRutledge]

I do not know of any procedure that states what you say specifically at the reporting area. Most people say the signal, but I would suggest you say what actually happened. I might say illegal screen but if they do something else I would add that like, "Illegal wide screen." No one cares where I live about a descriptive term at the table when reporting. The more information the better.

I agree.

However, in a recent IAABO video, we have been told to only give the team control foul signal, nothing else.

Supposedly a relatively new IAABO mechanic and signal sequence, I disagree with it.

My preliminary (spot of foul) is usually team control foul signal (hand behind head) and verbiage, and then verbalizing "illegal screen".

Reporting to table, team control foul signal (hand behind head) and verbiage, and "illegal screen" verbiage, often add a block, push, or hold signal, maybe with appropriate verbiage with the given signal.

I do not think it is a hard fast rule in my state, but there is nothing that I am aware of that eliminates what we did before and giving the kind of foul as we always were supposed to. The only difference is the actual signal for TC foul.
