I'll admit that I use the 2 middle fingers, tap the palm of my open left hand on them ever so slightly. I still don't see what the big deal is, never been told not to do it this way.

The two middle fingers would be the middle and ring finger, not the index and middle finger.

You must have a lot of dexterity to pull off a T with the actual MIDDLE fingers of one hand.

FYI, I took Rich's response to mean the middle finger on both hands coming together to signal a T.;)

I can't believe this wasn't understood. Of COURSE that's what I meant. I had a partner when I lived in Tennessee whack a coach like that -- right middle finger coming together with left middle finger. He did it so quickly nobody (but me) caught it.

I've seem Joe Crawford give a T with just his index fingers.

Ever since I started participating in this thread, I've called two direct technicals on head coaches, my first since last January.

Both coaches wanted them. I was happy to oblige.

Frankly, I could not and still can not believe an actual adult would be immature enough to do something like this.

But apparently so.

Boys & girls, do not give the coach the finger when you T him.
