Reporting foul - hand signal

[bsilliman]

Never point to the bench.
As Ed Cartotto, IAABO Visualization Committee Head, and longtime Big East offical stated, "everyone in the gym knows what team the foul is on and now the official wants to point to the bench, many times while the coach is standing right in the front of the bench, and tell everyone again? Another way to create tension between coaches and officials."
Many coaches go ballistic when this happens.
Use the color first, then the number. The scorers and timers understand English!
