So they worked a game on ESPN and had to go with a double foul 3 or 4 times?

Trail with his fists in the air, poised to call the block. Lead comes quick with the charge, and trail has to 'retract' his actions.

----

that being said, I pirated a couple of things that one of the guys did. I liked the mechanics of his 5 second count on the endline transitioning into 10-second count. Stolen.

Also, on a block of shot that was held ball -- held ball signal, a quick hands together indicating block, and then held ball signal again. Stolen.

Player A1 jumps and attempts to shoot. B1 places hand on ball and A1 is not allowed to release his shot and returns to the floor.

Official raises both hands with thumbs raised indicating a Held Ball. He then brings one open palm down on the other indicating a blocked shot, and then back to the held ball signal.

I would then indicate direction and our throw-in spot, something that this crew seemed to NEVER do!

On the first, after a made basket, new trail brings his hands together at the sternum, and once ball is at the disposal of the player for throw-in begins his 5 second count (away from table) and leaves the other hand at the sternum, then once the team has team control, uses other hand for the 10-second count and brings the off hand to the sternum.

I liked the initiation of the process, and the keeping of the 'off hand' at or near the sternum while the other hand works. I'm tall with long arms, so this approach to 5 second to 10 second mechanic seems 'neater' than I've used. Stolen.
