Big whistle, when you see a men's D1 game and the NBA where the officials are using one hand to count and chop it is because they are using the precision time system. There could be some exceptions to this that I can't think of right now. I think I'm covered now.

I'm sure they'll just add this image to the signals chart next year.

Why don't we go back to the days where the offender raised his/her hand? Most of the time it appears we are confirming what the scorer is about ready to write. I say "White. Two. Two." There is a guy around here who uses 2 hands and he looks like a clown because he has a wristwatch on one wrist and a bracelet on the other. And there is no way I am going to do ANYTHING that resembles him.

As a scorer, I'm going to chime in on the main issue here.
I actually prefer the 2 handed signal, as long as it is done consistently and CORRECTLY. Knowing my fair share of HS scorers, I'd be very wary about using it in a high school game. As to the secondary question ("two-four" or "twenty-four"), I prefer for the official to state the entire number. First, while I am not the type of scorer who immediately turns away, once every few hundred fouls, the cute dancer on the sideline is going to catch my eye, or I will somehow miss the second part of the number. More importantly, though, I find it prevents problems with the number of free-throws. If white 21 fouls, I may hear it as white #2, shooting 1. (The problems are obvious when #11 fouls.)

How long before 2 hands makes it to the college level? HS level?
I say it will be in college in 5 years and HS in 10 years? I would love if it came a lot sooner if it were me. I've seen no negatives besides at the lower levels there being an inexperienced bookeeper, and moving while reporting which I think supervisors will come around to, eventually. |

NCAA women, 2-3 years (they already report on the move)[/QUOTE I think that's the best mechanic (as evidenced by the fact that I do it waaaaay too often).
