The signal for leaving the spot is to point at the spot with the index finger and sweep the hand away from the spot....similar to the signal given to indicated that the throw can run the endline (when that is appropriate).

The one for 5-seconds is holding up 5 fingers.
Leaving the spot is a throw-in violation, and the signal for a throw-in violation is what it is. My rules book says that not releasing a throw-in in 5 seconds is also a throw-in violation. That's all.

Look at the signal chart. It labels one signal as a "5 seconds". But that is not any actual violation. The violation is a closely guarded violation. Don't get too hung up on the exact words on the signal chart...they're only basic.

Often, the signals are overlayed with others for compactness on the chart. Note the signal (#26 I believe)....it indicates a motion of the arm while pointing to the spot. The indicated motion is only significant/relevant for a spot violation. The 5 second signal is valid for any violation involving 5 seconds.

Hey. I can be right once, or twice, a month. Probability is on my side, if I post enough times.

And now we all know there is no Santa!

You'd think so, but the odds are apparently greater than 4771:5.

If you'd limit your inaneness (if it's not a word, it should be) to two posts or so a day, you could improve your odds.

You could get away with inanity but that would never stick to the esteemed BillyMac.
:D

Probability is a tricky thing.

Thanks, but I haven't reached that level yet. Right now, I'm just a registered user.
