Question

Just a simple mechanics question:

What is the signal as the Trail/Center for a no-rim freethrow? I've always used the goaltending/reset shotclock signal where some of my partners used the shot clock violation signal. Keep forgetting to talk about it during post games, but since I have it in mind now, thought I'd ask you!

Thanks.

DO NOT USE THE "SWERLIE" UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!

Sorry for shouting, but this is a very emotional issue with me.

Talking

Just like an oob call. Hit the whistle, open palm straight up, and then point the direction. I'd save the swirlee's (what is the correct spelling for this?) for certain partners, just to irritate them. It looks as though it gets under some people's skin.

Was someone's pharmacy out of a particular medication?

Ok, I may be treading on thin ice, but why does it bug you? Is it just that one signal? Were you given "swerlie's" as a kid and it brings back bad memories? Or is it using any "unapproved" mechanic? (Which, by the way, is one of my pet peeves, especially when I do it! )

Whistle.

Open palm (stays) up (since it was already up to chop the clock).

Verbally: "Violation. No rim."

That's all I do.

I never thought of the swirly not being a high school mechanic before, just always did it out of watching others. I suppose I shall have to stop.

Just like Chuck said. I just add the point in direction of the throw-in, and point to show that it will be a spot throw-in from the baseline.

Just what Chuck said - almost. I usually say "Violation on the shooter - didn't hit the rim".

Me too, except I add 12 jumping jacks, 2 laps around the gym and a chorus of the Macerena.

No swirley, but the crowd seems to like it anyway.

Whistle.
Point to rim.
Point to direction.

Please don't give the swirly motion, it makes my neck start twitching. I bet the guy who started that unapproved mechanic was the same guy who invented the saying; okey-dokey.

I believe this "swirly" is an NCAA signal for a shot clock reset after the shot-clock violation. It is not listed as an official NFHS basketball signal but the mechanics used for signaling a shot-clock violation and shot clock reset, have been adopted for use by the CBOA (California) since 1998.

It's actually just to reset the shot clock, and is applicable at any time (the sc operator has to look for it).
