What would be the correct signal when going with the arrow? Would you just signal the direction in which the arrow is pointing or would you give an explanation?

The Jump-Ball signal would (to me) look ridiculous and incorrect in this scenerio

Thanks

After confirming your partner(s) can't help, a quick two-thumbs up toward the table to let them and the coaches know you're going w/ A/P is appropriate. No need, IMO, to make a show out of it.

Bottom line, though, is that 99% of the time on an OOB call I'm going to make a call with the information I have available.

I think you're going to have to get used to looking (to you) ridiculous and incorrect.

I was just thinking that since you wouldnt have a jump ball there was no need to give the signal.

How else is the table and anyone else in the gym going to know you're going with an alternating possession throw-in?
