Consensus - Clean Block Signal?

[Hartsy]

I do not like that signal at all, and do not use it. If only more officials in my area felt the same.

All I need to know is that my assignor doesn't approve of it, and it will get me a ding on my eval if I do it when someone is watching. So I don't do it at all.

I never use it during live play. If a coach is yelling about something and I'm away from him but want to communicate the ball was touched, I might use it. But even then, I try not to.

If the coach doesn't like the fact that you didn't call a foul, rubbing one hand against the other one isn't going to make him feel any better.
