Yes, it's still signaled, I didn't address my hand signals, which still include the numbers on the jersey and the infraction. |
Interesting. What is the rationale for not verbalizing the infraction? Giving somebody one less thing to argue about?

"Red, 24" (insert signal) "two" |

I was asked a few years ago to work with him on his mechanics. It was felt that he had good judgement but he just didn't look the part. His main problem was his less than fit look and his sloppy mechanics. His signals were never sharp and we tried to help him but he has not changed one bit. Thus he could probably working a higher level if it weren't for his mechanics. Here's how he reports an "illegal use of the hands" foul. "I've got a foul on Blue 12, that's Blue 12. Hits. Two shots". Around here we don't verbalize the foul and the few that do never say "hits". |

Screw it. I'm sticking with base ten (or base six, in this case). |

I'm guessing that's how it used to be done at one time? |

I think this weekend at spring league, I'm going to report the fouls in pig-latin.
"U-blay, entytway orfay, ootay otshay." Maybe I'll signal the number with my toes, too. It won't take me too long to remove, then put back on, my shoes and socks each time. Of course, if there's a hot mom at the table, I can just hope there's a foul on number 1 or 11. I can signal that a completely different way! :eek: OK - I'm waiting for the remark which has her saying, "Huh? We don't have a number 1/2." |
