Made the tip motion for over and back.

There is no tip signal in Fed. mechanics. Your over and back signal followed by the direction the ball will be inbounded to and a point to the spot where the ball is to be inbounded should be all you use "by the book". If the coach is looking at you with that puzzled look or worse, you can use the "tip" signal to indicate to him what happened.

I've worked pretty hard to get rid of this mechanic. If there's any question, I'll just point to the player who touched it last.
I still get partners who use it, though.
It's not our responsibility to tell the players who touched it last until the violation has occurred.
