"Persecute" is a little strong, don't you think. I just don't like it, but I'm not going to harp on it unless a guy asks.

What about a C giving a tip signal to the trail letting him know the ball was tipped by B and should not be ruled a backcourt violation? I'm sure this is unapproved, but it's something that longtime partners and I use once every 10 games or so.

Obviously I think this is okay, too. If you are planning to go tell your partner he made the wrong call if he calls the bc violation, then isn't it better to prevent him from making the call in the first place and thus keep the game moving?

Yes sir, I think the "foul tip" is a great communication tool amongst officials but should never be used as a mechanic/signal.
