'Round these parts it's common for partners to use index+pinkie or thumb+pinkie to indicate an upcoming bonus situation, an extended fist to indicate an upcoming media timeout, the "sliding index finger" to indicate that the upcoming throw-in is not a spot throw-in (usually exchanged at the beginning of a time out), index finger extended upward to indicate we're under 1:00 remaining in the period (quite often this is withheld until we're at about 30 seconds), tapping the chest to indicate either "I've got clock" or, more rarely, "I'm the new lead" (used to sort out confusion over a missed rotation). The only other one that comes to mind is the "two fist twist" used to communicate the need to tighten up the play calling.

Does such a tech support call involve a Ruger and a shovel?

Late in the game when the losing team is needing to foul, I will communicate with the other official(s) with a tap on the forearm.

Six Or Seven ???
I don't like to wait until after the sixth foul. I want to know, or I want my partner to know, that we're at six and that we'll be shooting on the next foul. This way either of us, as the noncalling official, will be more likely to identify the shooter and get everyone lined up to shoot free throws.

So you want you or your partner to know that you are at six fouls before the sixth foul. Most people would just call that five fouls.

Tighten It Up ...
In our little corner of Connecticut, a common "unofficial" signal is to put out one's fist and rotate it, meaning, "This game is getting a little chippy. Let's tighten it up".

On non-board/rec league games, sometimes there's a rule that forbids a team to press once a team is up 10 points. This is not part of the officiating norm, so you have to remind yourself to catch it, before a kid makes a steal off an illegal press. To stay on top of this rule, a partner and I developed a "thumbs up/thumbs down" communication for this situation only. If a team goes up ten points, you make eye contact, and do a quick thumbs up to alert your partner, and he mirrors. That will remind you that the no-press rule is effect. When it's no longer in effect, you do the same with a quick thumbs down. |
