NCAA Mechanic for Team Control

[bradfordwilkins]

Looking the back of the book -- it appears there is no mechanic for team control fouls.

So for instance, for an illegal screen what signal are you giving?

I've seen officials give the blocking foul signal for an illegal screen

The mechanics I've seen:

1. whistle (raised fist optional)
2. point the other way
3. signal the nature of the foul (pointing to perp optional)

There is no mechanic given for NCAA-M...check out page 173 of the rule book for the correct signal for NCAA-W. The "punch" is the correct signal for a team control foul in NCAA-W. That can be followed by other signals (block, push, etc) to explain what the foul was.

[bradfordwilkins]

Yea, sorry meant to clarify for men. Block sounds sellable to me.

The women's signals are great though -- they are the only league that has an "official" signal for "Hit to the head"

Why is that needed? It is illegal use of hands. I don't see why a signal is needed to indicate where the other player got hit.

Communication. Sometimes it's not clear what happened & although it's not an approved mechanic at the level I work, when I've used it (at the spot NOT the table) it clearly communicates to all what exactly happened on the play.

Do they also have an "official" signal for "hit to the shoulder"?

"Hit to the stomach"?

Hit to the knee"?

"hit to the "?

If not, why not?

I do not think you are going to have to worry about this in the women's game.

I, for one, am glad there is no signal for a hit to the . In the heat of a game I have hurt my forearm from giving the signal too hard, or hurt my fingers for giving a T too demonstratively. I wouldn't want to go too far in giving that signal.

Six different time out signals! But why do the NCAA-W have separate signals for full time out and :60 time out?

So that media directors know how many commercials they can fit in. Usually a full is 90, 120, or 150 seconds.

They aren't the same thing in NCAA ball. In true media format games (like tv games) teams can call only 30 second time-outs, except for the one 60 second time-out they are allowed. Media to's at the first dead ball under 16, 12, 8, and 4 minutes are true full time-outs - like refguy said the lengteh of those will depend on the media agreements. In a non-media game, a team can call 30's or full's, and those full's are 90 seconds long.

I've seen the other signal given first, then the punch. Which is correct?

[rockyroad]

The punch should come first.
