team control and and player controp foul humm

[Back In The Saddle]

My money is on no TC foul signal at all. We'll simply signal a hold, push, whatever and "going that way."

My rationale: The NFHS is pretty reluctant to make changes to the signal chart. How long did it take them to add the kick signal? And it was really, really obvious and widespread. So in a few years, if we've all settled on a mechanic, they'll adopt it. Here my money is on one fist in the air, other arm pointing "that way."

There was no change announced for the signal chart. That's hardly conclusive, but they announced the kick when they blessed it. They were pretty detailed in this year's announcement, citing exactly what would change.

There are 13 types of fouls listed in 4-19, the TC will make 14. Only four have specific signals: intentional, technical, player control and double. No signal is the stronger precident. For my money, the flagrant is more in need of its own signal than the TC.
