It wouldn't help. It would be written in the same style as everything else here. :D

Iow it's basically a message being sent to the other team's coach and maybe to some players on the floor who might want to complain about being fouled. Nothing there...let's move on.

That's my take on it anyhow......
Same observation, same conclusion.

The Army pays for us to learn other languages. I'll check to see if Pompous is on the list.:rolleyes:

Wow, it's like you're asking for an Army joke. :)
BTW, check your PM for an explanation.

Stupid is as stupid does...I work with complete rocks all day long. No matter how many hammers we have, we always have the Marines to make us look good.:D

Sorry, I haven't been around long enough. I still don't understand some of the inside jokes running through this Forum.

Or, it's the signal I use in my "junior varsity" Catholic middle school games to remind the players that they aren't allowed to press unless it's the fourth period, and there is a ten point or less differential. I'm not an NCAA official, but I'm sure that they have the same no press rule at that level as well.

Lead shouldn't do it, but C needs to communicate with the table after s/he communicates with the L. It shouldn't be held throughout the entire FT, though.
Bob, no, not the bonus hook 'em horns signal, this is the constant pinky curled with thumbs up running down court. I was at Proviso today and a few guys used it, college officials.

Just not used to seeing it either at HS level or D1

Officials gripping the ball with one hand waiting for a throw in or during a time out. Mainly because my arthritis wont allow me to anymore. :D
