The signal we use is also a small issue. Communication will be the key. Many tables in a high school game don't pay attention to whatever we do anyway. The use of our voices is lacking from what I've seen and not heard recently. We can still talk on the court can't we?

By the way, I have never used the team control signal in a college game and I've never had an observer say anything about it to anyone on any crew I've worked with. I have called fouls in these situations. I just try to make it perfectly clear what I have when I call the foul. YMMV
Tome I hear what you are saying, but it has nothing to do with a big deal, we all have our opinion and I could care less abt what signal to use. I just dont like the ideal from a players stand point. I love it as an official but I do still play. And most leagues and tournaments you play in plays under High School rules with some modifications.
