The same reason you shouldn't report "over the back" while giving the pushing signal.

If the coach is watching the play, he knows what his kid did. If you have to say something, say "on the arm" or "push" or "block."

That, and what Bob says.

Randy McCall actually gave a signal for that in the NV/Cal game Wednesday night.

"Reaching in" is as much or more ambiguous as illegal use of hands in the context of the type of foul we're talking about.

If the coach wants to know what his guy did and asks you respectfully, you can tell him exactly what he did. But "reaching in" shouldn't be your answer.

"slaped him on the wrist"

Yep. Which is right next to the signal for "that's gotta be something" and "Giving him the business down there"
