How to Report 3 Pointer and 1

[jdw3018]

I start by saying something like "Score the basket, 3 points" with the count the basket mechanic, followed by a quick three-point signal.

Then, "Blue 42", give the signal for the type of foul, "One throw." (Okay, I actually say 'shot' not 'throw' but I don't want to get jumped around here.)

I do not think there is a set policy as to what you do, but what jdw3018 is the sequence I have used for years and no one has ever told me what to do or what not to do in this case. If you are that concerned ask the local trainer/clinicians or organizations in your area. It is possible someone has a very specific sequence. Unfortunately I do not know that the NF has ever laid out one (which is one of the many reasons my state does not use their mechanics anymore) and I have never seen a sequence in a book of any kind.

Yeah I haven't seen a sequence yet either. I felt like I was doing to many signals last night when reporting, so I just wanted to be clear on how other officials handle it. I said something like White #2, push signal, baskets good, 2 point signal, then 1 shot.

Nothing has changed with the basket counting or not counting as being the first thing that is signaled. Whether you should give the "TD" signal or give the "count the basket" signal first or one should follow the other is up for debate. I give both signals but as I said no one as told me to do it this way or do it another way. So I do what has worked.

Always report fouls in the order in which the scorer wants the information. First, was the basket good or not (on a shooting foul, of course - and you use the mechanic), then which team committed the foul by indicating their jersey color, then the number of the player who committed the foul, then the mechanic for the type of foul, then any other action such as "one shot".
