The association president had a blarge last year, and he said the whole game went down hill from there. So I don't think there is a problem, but just a discussion topic.
While having this this discussion, I realized my mechanic has been wrong for some time. |

I always use an open- or closed-hand to stop the clock. I believe it's an important signal to communicate with the timer. I know it has been discussed previously on this board that it isn't necessary on certain calls (ie jump-balls) but I do it because that's what I've been taught at camps. I pay those guys a lot of money to teach me good techniques so I am going to follow it. They also assign me games too

I see at least two problems. . .

They made a big deal this year at our rules meeting about "whistle blows, hand goes up". (Fist for foul, open hand for violation.) That's what stops the clock, then signal appropriately. This also helps avoid the blarge as it gives you that moment to make eye contact with your partner to (hopefully) avoid those types of calls.

Good thing, too! Because some officials don't get those hands up high enough for the timer (or Partner) to see. |
