The procedure might be proper, but not always required. I really only use a preliminary signal when I have to sell a call. On most shooting fouls where the basket goes in, I never seem to use a preliminary signal at all. It comes down to where you live and what is required by those around you.

Yep, that's pretty much what I said. Around here, it's encouraged and at our state tournament it's imperative. It's also great communication. I would still say that new officials should learn to do it right... and if they look at the NFHS officials manual, they will see that it isn't written as "optional."
