Anyone watching the Indiana/Ga Tech game?

I know. That has nothing to do with the overall discussion. I'm just answering a direct question from PYRef.

Don't they know the endless trouble that's going to cause during my 4th grade travel league games?

Sorry guys, the timeout for a substitution mechanic is different. It is done using only two fingers above the head.

You should be sorry. Ok, that's a little stronger than I intended; but anybody swirling 2 fingers over their head should be embarrassed. That would look distinctly. . . goofy.

There actually isn't a signal listed for this in the CCA handbook this year, but I'm 99.999999999% positive that when it was introduced, it was the traveling signal. No way am I "swirling" unless I get ripped for the traveling signal.

Scrapper, if you have a 2007-08 NCAA rule book, go look on page 168 and you'll see this mechanic. Or just go to this link.

and it's not exactly done by "swirling" your fingers like your wearing pink panties like you suggest.
Unless you do. (Not that there's anything wrong with that)

That's a woman's mechanic.

Those of us who know Scrappy know that he's a men's official...who happens to wear pink panties but there's nothing wrong with that (Well, nothing too wrong with that... he's just confused...)

btw I see it on p205

The NCAAM description says "throw in spot or designated spot violation"

I agree that the NCAAW description doesn't include the word "violation" and the signal is on the "information" page, not the "violation" page.

I apologize for the discrepancy in the link. It is pg. 168 in the 2008 rule book. The link is for the 2007 edition.

Yes it is listed as a women's mechanic, but there is also no mechanic listed under the men's for a team control foul either

I do have rulebook, but believe it or not, there are no signals in it. In the table of contents, it shows signals and gives a page number, but the book itself leaves those sections out. Very strange.

But I do see the signal on the PDF version that you linked. As Dan_ref said, it's a women's mechanic, which explains why I was not familiar with it. And as I said, I sure looks goofy.

and it's not exactly done by "swirling" your fingers like your wearing pink panties like you suggest.

It sure looks like swirling. Yuck.

It sure looks like swirling. Yuck.

OK, I might concede that a little but it is definitely different than the travel signal.

I'll concede that, too.
