I believe, but can't verify, that this was the signal in the early 90's when I got my start working middle school ball in a small college town in Iowa. We also did the whole "cadillac position" thing, too.

Ok, not a mechanic, but what's the deal with the thumbs up somewhat and pinky fingers stuck out as you're running down court. Seems germane to D111 women's officials. Almost like a hook 'em horns but vertical.

Anybody?
