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

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.

That's rule #3. We all know what #s 1 and 2 are.

Is there a signal for that?

Sometimes the NCAA has it right.

NCAA-W has a signal for hit to the head. It's a useful signal and everyone knows exactly what you're reporting.

I called a foul last night I normally would've passed on only because the defender swung and hit the ball handler in the head after she received a pass at the elbow. She then put up a jump shot, but I had already blown it down (it was a fairly significant hit to the head although she played through it nicely). She missed the shot. It was clearly a foul before the shot.

Now, which communicates the foul best to the players/coaches/table/spectators? The NCAA-W hit to the head or the NFHS hack?

Actually, I thought maybe Juulie had hurt herself.
