Deaf timekeepers might care. I was taught at a clinic that whistle + hand so anyone deaf or blind could tell what's going on.

Or a timekeeper in a very very noisy gym. Anecdotal evidence: Before I became a certified official I was the timer at the local HS. I distinctly remember one game where we had a packed house and a close ballgame and toward the end a crucial call was made and the only way I knew to stop the clock was because I saw the calling official's hand go up, there was no other way to know, it was so loud.

For example, an official starting a backcourt or closely-guarded count when the action is near an OOB line could easily be mistaken for a direction point. The clearer that the signal is for the timer the better. By your earlier thoughts, why not skip the raised arm in these cases as well and go straight to the signal for the violation? |

As a former clock operator...
When you get down to the end of the game and it is crazy in there, and I'm sitting floor level looking through 10 players, it is quite possible that I could neither hear your whistle or see your point. Especially if its in the nearside corner in front of a bench. But I will see a hand that comes up open above everyone's head. Typical out of bounds at any point of the game, especially when its obvious the ball is out of play, what's the point? But I wouldn't say its totally unnecessary 100% of the time. |

C'mon, now. The discontinuation of the stop-clock signal was way before the first Precision Time device made its debut. |

The NCAA Tournament doesn't use PTS. Do those officials raise their hand?
