I think I kicked it.

Anything below high school I always make sure to indicate which way the teams are going before the toss. This is not an actual mechanic, but it saved some problems more than once.

Junker,
How do you know "it saved some problems more than once" ?

Good point Mick. I must be seeing things that aren't there. I hope my partners don't noticed in my V games tonight.

Don't worry, as long as the voices don't quit on you, you'll be okay.

You mean those voices I hear every night except Wednesday and Sunday that say, "3 seconds", "that's a reach" and "over the back"? I doubt if those quit anytime soon. They seem to go away in late February.

I try to do backcourt as though I'm pointing to one side of a line, and then the other side, so I leave my palm more or less downward, and just move it in a slightly arching motion, using a lot of horizontal. I do carry more up and down with the palm facing up and hand moving straight up, and then flip hand downward and move it downward. not much horizontal, mostly vertical. This makes it easier to tell the difference.

I was sorry I did this last week when I made a very,very bad backcourt call, and I wished I could have said, "No, no, not backcourt, I was signalling a carry!" But the mechanic made it clear what I was calling, which was without question, wrong.!!!

That's it! Thanks for letting me know I wasn't all alone on this.
