Made the tip motion for over and back.

It bugs me when I see officials use the tip signal on a blocked shot. I don't see what purpose it serves and it looks silly to me.

A few I have worked with use this about 5 or six times a game. I hate it too. Same ones that like to point to the rim and make little circles on a free throw airball. Is that the signal referred to as the toilet brush? Thankfully, that doesn't surface as often as the tip signal.
