I give the PC signal for TC fouls. I have never been told to stop using it, so that is what I do. I also verbalize the call so there is little confusion over what we are going to do next.

That's exactly why we need a TC signal because we have guys from all over the states using different mechanics.

I don't thinks it's that big an issue. I think at the NCAA level most officials know whether or not a team is in the bonus.

The signal isn't only for the officials working the game, but it's a tool to communicate with players, coaches, and the score-table. I know we careless about the fans, but to some extend for them as well.

Sh!t, I can't the get TC mechanics straight for my HS games. I'm more effective with loudly yelling "offensive" on the spot and "team control" when reporting.

I know that you do but, unfortunately, you haven't been assigned to any games where I've kept the book.

You would be confused with the PC signal?

No, JRut. He said UNfortunately you don't work his games. He would like the officials on the floor to give some indication -- either the PC or TC signal -- but they don't in his area. So he was wishing that you worked games closer to him.

What Scrapper said.

Frankly, I don't care if the official gives the hand behind the head, a fist punch, or just says "offensive," "Team control," or "player control." If I'm not certain that it was one of those categories, I'm going to let you know that we should be shooting bonus FTs.
