I think I get the point of the thread. Is the stop sign a federation mechanic? I ask that question seriously 1) I don't have a book with me now and 2) I don't use it anyway...ever.
It's not, but I believe the officials manual also instructs to report fouls with one hand.

Waving hands at the buzzer to end a period (think canceling a basket) when there was no shot attempted or the shot was in time but no good. Hand straight up in the air people.
Also, blowing your whistle in this situation. What's wrong with just letting the buzzer do its job?

The directional point that is angled toward the sky. Parallel to the ground looks SO much better.
Choppy, short visible counts.

I don't work college, but I think the NCAA women's visible count mechanic (up at the head, 45 degree angle) is simply ridiculous.
Rookie reviewing his signals
1. OK
2. OK
3. OK
4. Oooppps - Have to work on that. :o It was how I was taught long ago (I think it was in July.)

How about using the double personal foul signal to report a full timeout.

Yes, and for a 30 sec TO when people point their thumbs to their shoulders and, worse yet, point their pinkies out! Grrrr

I get annoyed when, to indicate a player traveled while rolling on the floor, my partner gets down on the floor and rolls.

I'm also not sure the signal indicating there's a really well built busty mom in the stands is in the NF manual, but I appreciate it when my partner uses it.

Uh, they're not the same...60 sec time signal hands are open with palms facing forward....double foul signal hands are closed fists with palm side down.....

As for non standard signals, how about hammering the fists on the hips for a blocking foul? I've seen some officials do this so enthusiastically they must have bruises on their hips.....

Tim - I think that was his point - that some guys use the foul signal to signal the timeout.

Because the official, not the horn, declares the quarter over.

What's a double foul? Oh, that's another thread. I suppose I use fists here. Don't really see it as a big deal, although I do hate the thumbs on the shoulder -- and one of my partners does it on purpose cause I hate it. :D

Miss-read it Mark.....my bad.........

You seriously had a partner roll on the floor......how did you keep a straight face?

5-6-2

"Each quarter or extra period ends when the signal illuminates or sounds indicating time has expired, as in 1-14"

(obvious exceptions not included)

Rule #1. Never, ever take Padgett seriously.

Actually, that's not Rule #1. There are, however, other posts which identify what is. I don't want to say.

What does this look like? I mean the signal not the Mom, but I am imagining....
