Cleaning up the mechanics

3-Whistle Time-out mechanics


Looking for opinions on how the officials on the blocks (full time-out) or at the top of the key (30 second time-out) come out when the first horn sounds.
Of course 3rd official with the ball.


We pre-gamed it the other night...for both officials to take one step while visually showing first time-out (not the Harley "High Sign") and vocalize "FIRST HORN".

I like both officials to at least do the same thing...whatever we come up with in our pre-game.

I thought the one step approach worked OK...but, I felt like I would have liked to have been closer to the bench.
I didn't feel like we were being heard as well as we could have been had we been closer.

I know this is the "little stuff"...but, sometimes the "little stuff" can mean the difference of watching the state championship game...or doing it.
