New "Team Control" Signal
I just want to know what everyone thinks about the "team control" signal NFHS added this year. It's the same signal as a lane violation, but what is your take on it?
|
It is not the same signal. I have gotten used to it. Coaches get confused unless the specific [block, illegal screen, etc] is verbalized when reporting.

I like it. The first three fouls I called this season were team control fouls. It isn't the same as a lane violation, though. You're punching the wrong way. |

Straight out in front of you.

You punch the direction you are going so, lead is out in front, trail should punch to the side, and I think all fouls with control should be the punch, there is no need for two signals when the results of both calls are the same.

Couple that with the manual from 05-07 that we are still using...without the new signal...under fouls 230-e, if a team control foul point in the direction of the throw-in team's basket.;) |

Fist up, then punch toward throw-in team's basket with same arm. |
is it bad that I use a player control mechanic AFTER giving a block, push, etc if team control is involved?
I think NCAA did this a number of years ago.... F Federation mechanics. |

Hasn't been a problem at all....this is how our SRI wants it done and it works really well.
Preliminary signals at point of foul: Whistle & raised fist Team Control signal straight out in front Type of foul (block, hold, push, etc.) Point to inbound location. Reporting to the table: Report color & number of player that committed foul Team control signal, fist straight out in front Indicate color & point direction ball is going. I also verbalize everything while giving the signals, which really helps....and not just in team control situations! Examples while giving signals above: Initial Report - Team control, white 23, block, blue ball Report to table - White foul, #23, team control, blue ball I also use different voice levels for each - normal speaking volume for initial so players concerned know what's going on, louder & slower for report to table so anyone paying attention will know what the call is. |

I am just telling you what it says in the current and most recent literature in the NF Publication. It does not say the signal has to be in the direction of the basket, it just says how the signal is used. They just added the signal this year, so what a book might indicate that was published over a year ago does not apply. Either way it goes you do what you are told despite what the NF book says because any state can use mechanics outside of that book anyway. Peace |
JR: how can you have a SIGNAL that "will communicate that the ball is going the other direction" without pointing in that direction?

I don't like the signal, so I just stopped calling team control fouls. :D

Ohio...We March to the Beat of a Different Drum
In Ohio, we were mandated to use a different signal than "the punch". The OHSAA required us to use the PLAYER CONTROL signal instead of the punch. We are allowed to use a secondary signal with the preliminary signal (block, push whatever), but just the hand behind the head at the table.
The only good thing about it is that the table and everyone understands that there are no free throws. |

That is exactly how we were instructed to handle it here in NC as well. |

For some reason I had a lot of these early in the season (adjustment from football to basketball). I was also told by one of my partners I verbalize a "Boom!" when I give my team control punch. I knew I was thinking Boom, did not realize I was saying it, too. |
