This is a big pet peeve of mine. Some also use the Gator chop <.
I was watching a game last night and the lead used this mechanic to indicate that it was blocked. The trail was near half court and didn't have position to help on the play but there was definitely a foul and if I was trail I would have called it. That makes the crew look great when one calls a foul and the other is saying that it was blocked!

It's not THAT bad. "I had a different angle/view of it, coach."

Yes but the tip signal does nothing but cause problems. Obviously if we didn't call a foul then we determined that it was a block shot. The only thing that can be accomplished by using this signal is making the crew look bad IMO.
