HS or lower officials using NBA signals.

A few years ago, I was at an 8th grade girls game where the official used the NBA "Loose Ball Foul" signal. I had to resist the urge to ask if that meant we also had defensive three seconds.

I would like to see a signal for basket interference- the NBA has one.

Our association permits the 2 hand point. I don't have the IAABO book infront of me so I can't recall whether they do or not.

point with 2 fingers or a full hand, if that is the weakest part of an officials game I think they are doing just fine.

How about, "Three to make two."?

LOVED that rule. It didn't help Billy McGinnis though. Playoff game - missed all 3 and I think one was an air ball.

College players only get two to make two. High school players only get two to make two. Middle school players only get two to make two. Fourth graders only get two to make two. Why did some of the best basketball players in the world need three shots to make two? Rick Barry, Calvin Murphy, and Bill Sharman never needed three to make two.
